Based on their name, one might assume that Neulander are a German group. However, this neo-retro-electro duo reside in New York City. Actually, Korinna Koll [vocalist/chanteuese] is from Austria and Adam Peters [former keyboardist of Echo and the Bunnymen] is British. Neulander describe themselves as "The Human League doing battle with Neu." One listen to "Smoke+Fire" unveils an almost dream-pop tonality, with Korinna's sultry vocals floating in technicolor over the glitchy, loop based sonic textures. In any event, this release is disarmingly refreshing and a best of 2004 contender! For free streaming audio, go to their website and click on Neulander.

If your a fan of 80's New Wave in its purest most dance floor synth form (Depeche Mode - Speak & Spell / The Human League / OMD / Pet Shop Boys), or a fan of Kraftwerk, Stereolab, Talking Heads, Bjork, or the sensuality and tonality of dreampop (Lush, Cocteau Twins, XMal Deutchland, The Heart Throbs).... Play loud, and get yo robot on!
