Joakim Nørgaard and Anton Falck have already built a reputation for grimly romatinc pop music thanks to their self titled EP and its follow-up The Mind Of A Gemini.
Their take on '80s synthpop is perhaps influenced by their relationship with the likes of fellow Copenhagen-based acts Iceage and Lust For Youth, which means that any beautiful moments (which often come from singer Falck's flat, spoken-word interludes shot through with regret) are tempered with realism. For a further reference point, the wistful harmonicas on tracks like "The One" recall the Balearic beats of Korallreven, or New Order at their most lovelorn.
