...inspired by the early works of electronic music pioneers such as The Normal, Fad Gadget, Gary Numan, Soft Cell... NEONGRAU aka Oliver Gerling (2004+ compatible) delivers the ideal soundtrack for urban catwalks and cult b-movies.
With a respectful nod to the past and a wary eye on the phuture, neongrau sways to an ice cool, minority groove. While in the cut-up tradition of William Burroughs and in line with the nightmarish visions of David Cronenberg's Videodrome - both, music and lyrics are the result of a dangerous flirtation with technology.
Intent on fucking up the grey masses by appropriating text from the daily deluge of spam-mail and by lovingly dissecting the rotten heart of daytime talk shows, neongrau combines ultra exotic old school sounds with biting sarcasm - responding with venom to the banal, paranoia-inducing marketing slogans and empty headed drivel that creep unnoticed into our everyday lives via television and the internet.
Fixing the accelerated decline of popular culture with a benevolent stare - neongrau surfs the radio waves like a modern day High Plains Drifter, producing hymns for slackers and fashion victims alike.
hi-level trash glam for hi-level indi(e)viduals.
