HAERTS
Shimmering, cinematic pop that feels like a sunset drive through a city you used to love. Ethereal vocals meet warm, anthemic synths for a bittersweet glow.

HAERTS is a New York-based duo consisting of German-born musicians Nini Fabi and Ben Gebert. Emerging in the early 2010s during the height of the 'indie-pop' explosion, they quickly distinguished themselves through a sophisticated blend of synth-pop and soft-rock influences.
Their early work, particularly the 'Hemiplegia' EP and their self-titled debut, was characterized by high-gloss production and anthemic structures that earned them comparisons to Fleetwood Mac and Haim, though with a more overt electronic foundation. Over their career, the duo has transitioned from a larger band format to a more focused creative partnership, allowing for a shift toward more organic, chamber-pop elements in later releases like 'New Light' and 'Dream Nation'. Their cultural footprint is significantly tied to their success in sync licensing, with their music providing the emotional backbone for several high-profile teen dramas and independent films. Critically, they are praised for their melodic precision and Fabi's vocal range, which bridges the gap between 80s pop divas and modern indie-folk intimacy.
