Hazy, warped pop that feels like a half-remembered dream. Submerged synths and dusty rhythms for quiet moments of introspection.
B77 is a Swiss experimental pop duo consisting of Leopold Schwaller and Luca Carbone. Emerging from the Fribourg scene around 2017, they have carved out a niche characterized by 'hazy pop' or 'bedroom psychedelia.'
Their sound identity is built on a foundation of analog warmth, specifically utilizing pitch-warping and tape saturation to create a sense of nostalgic disorientation. While categorized as experimental, their work maintains a strong melodic core influenced by 60s psychedelia and modern chillwave. Critically, they are noted for their 'childish' curiosity, often incorporating toy-like sounds and found-sound percussion that subverts traditional electronic music tropes. Their career arc shows a steady progression from the raw, lo-fi sketches of 'LL8' to the more expansive and conceptually dense 'The Wonderful Labyrinth of The Mind.' They occupy a similar cultural space to artists like Connan Mockasin or King Garbage, where the 'imperfections' of the recording process are elevated to primary aesthetic features. They are a staple of the contemporary Swiss indie-electronic circuit, bridging the gap between avant-garde sound design and accessible art-pop.
