A nostalgia for 1980s new wave synth pop (à la Depeche Mode, New Order, and Ministry) runs through Philadelphia duo Korine's music. The electronic pop band uses haunting lyrical imagery and vintage synthesizers to create a world all of their own, one where you can't tell if it's 1984 or 2019. Korine faithfully subscribe to the more electronic-tinged sounds of the 80s, channelling the dance-y yet melancholy vibes of the British new romantics and the more post-punkish side of New Order.

For Fans of: New Order / Joy Division / The Cure / Depeche Mode / The Smiths
