Bouncy analog synths and motorik rhythms that feel like a lost 1970s sci-fi soundtrack found in a disco. Playful, eerie, and deeply rhythmic.
Hologram Teen sounds like a neon-drenched laboratory where vintage synthesizers have gained sentience and decided to throw a dance party. The music is a kaleidoscopic blend of motorik Krautrock precision, Italian Giallo horror atmospheres, and the infectious bounce of French house. It manages to be simultaneously eerie and exuberant, wrapping spooky, minor-key melodies in warm, fuzzy analog textures that feel tactile and alive.
What truly distinguishes the project is its sense of 'hauntological' play. Morgane Lhote uses her background in avant-pop to create soundscapes that feel like memories of a future that never happened. The tracks are dense with sonic curiosities: bubbling modular bleeps, disco-inflected basslines, and rhythmic shifts that keep the listener off-balance but always moving. It is sophisticated electronic music that refuses to take itself too seriously.
Start with 'Between the Funk and the Fear' to experience the full breadth of this project. It serves as a perfect gateway into Lhote's world, showcasing how she can bridge the gap between experimental sound design and genuine dancefloor accessibility. It is the ideal soundtrack for anyone who wants their electronic music to have a bit of grit, a bit of wit, and a lot of character.
