From a studio packed with analogue synths—not because it’s cool, but because it’s necessary—Circuit3 builds electronic pop that looks firmly to the pre-digital past to find futures we never quite got. Influenced by the golden age of synth music (1978–82), Circuit3 mixes vintage machinery with “five-minutes-into-the-future” lyrics that flicker somewhere between memory and invention.

Sparse layers give the songs room to breathe, with textures like scorched aluminium and melodies drifting in...  more
