The French-German duo Dear Strange revives the spirit of new wave with modern electronica in a most captivating way on the debut album "Lonely Heroes". Some music just pulls the listener in from the very start. The powerful voice of Dorian E. reminds of wave-legends like Siouxsie Sioux and envelops the listener in a maelstrom of emotions, while sound wizard Romain Frequency re-invents the feeling of the dark side of the 80's with minimal-electro and club-sound-elements coming from an armada of synthesizers. Walking a tight line between catchiness and atmosphere, retro-feeling and modernity, vivid emotions and explicit coolness, Dear Strange create a postmodern-futuristic scheme for pop music with substantial depth. Dear Strange always manage to impress, overwhelm and captivate, yet always remain accessible and full of floor-filling spirit.
