CRYSTAL

CRYSTAL are a synth technopop duo based in Tokyo, Japan. The duo’s sounds are inspired by retro-futuristic synth, experimental, and energetic new wave.

"Expanding on the windswept, soft-focus synth pop of ‘Autumn Story’ – like Prefab Sprout if they landed on Yukihiro Takahashi & Haroumi Hosono’s Yen Records – CRYSTAL return with a sugar-coated, analogue vision of past futures, defined by a dazzling, irrepressible take on Italo house. Enriched by subtle echoes of acid house and the distinctive sound of the Prophet-6 synthesizer, ‘One More Chance’ is a work of euphoric Hi-NRG pop evoking New Order circa ‘Technique’ and the Pet Shop Boys circa ‘Introspective’ if fronted by Miharu Koshi." flau.bandcamp.com
