Reasonable question.
Synth-pop perfection from Nineteen Eighty-Thr…. Wait… No!
This is Turin-based synthpop, darkwave group The Frozen Autumn, and this was first released in 2002!
Wonderful echoes of OMD and Ultravox, and even a touch of a-ha in some of those keyboard riffs.
Wonderful echoes of Robert Smith in that hair.
Apparently, according to their Facebook, there’s a new, remastered 6-track EP of The Frozen Autumn stuff coming out soon. Based on this loveliness, I might just give that a go.
