Flag

High-gloss electronic pop defined by surgical sampling and cinematic energy. A masterclass in 80s hi-fi production that feels like a high-speed chase through a neon city.

It's like a high-speed car chase through a neon-lit Swiss bank.

A high-octane blend of sophisticated cool and eccentric, rhythmic playfulness.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The frantic, Doppler-effect panning of car engines and brass stabs on The Race.

The transition into the sprawling, eight-minute rhythmic hypnosis of Tied Up in Red.

The contrast between the deep, gravelly narration and the shimmering, high-frequency synth textures on 3rd of June.
