Shimmering art-pop that feels like neon lights underwater. Elastic rhythms and tuba-driven grooves for listeners who want their pop music beautifully strange.
Broen sounds like a futuristic ecosystem where organic instruments and digital glitches coexist in perfect, restless harmony. Their music is defined by a liquid quality, flowing between rigid electronic pulses and the warm, breathy resonance of a tuba used as a lead bass instrument. It is bright, colorful, and intellectually curious, yet it never loses the infectious pull of a great pop hook.
What truly sets them apart is their rhythmic elasticity. While many indietronica acts rely on static loops, Broen utilizes their jazz backgrounds to create grooves that breathe and shift. Marianna Røe’s vocals act as a guiding light through these dense, shimmering arrangements, moving from spoken-word intimacy to soaring, ethereal melodies that feel both ancient and avant-garde.
Start with the album 'I Heart Art' to experience their most cohesive vision of 'propaganda pop.' It is a record that demands your full attention with its intricate layering but rewards you with a sense of weightless euphoria that is rare in contemporary experimental music.
