Currently on a European tour to promote their new album, How does it feel, this dark wave, dream pop Brooklyn duo are well known for their heartfelt songs, although their new material is actually quite dancey.

The redheaded Lizzy Plapinger (vocals) and Max Hershenow came to prominence with their 2012 single ‘Hurricane’. They describe themselves as “artists redefining the mainstream pop landscape”.

While they employ electronic and acoustic core elements, their music has been described as sounding like Lana Del Rey and a Six Feet Under soundtrack. (EN)
