Under The World

Girl-guy duo from LA: self described “death pop”. Retro goth feel to this with 80’s sentiments in the percussion, “spooky” tones and feel, drama. Great guitar and use of sequencers, synths and drums. Total 4AD records orbit, elements of early Cure, Bauhaus, Dead Can Dance tone. Dreamy and good despite the darkness. New Wave feel of bands like Berlin is undeniable, Ultravox? One track even borders on progressive black metal somehow.
