Intro

Krause sounds like a neon-lit collision between the polished world of pop and the jagged edges of a warehouse rave. The music is defined by its massive, 'trouser-leg-fluttering' low end, courtesy of production from drum and bass legends Noisia, which gives her synth-pop hooks a physical weight rarely found in the genre. It is loud, unapologetic, and vibrantly synthetic.

What sets Krause apart is the sheer unpredictability of her delivery. She can pivot from crystalline, close-harmony pop vocals to 'hysterical' punk screaming within a single track, all while maintaining a razor-sharp sense of irony. It’s the sound of someone who spent years in punk bands before discovering the visceral power of a well-engineered kick drum.

Start with the debut album 'No Guts, No Glory' to hear the full spectrum of her sound. From the Royksopp-adjacent title track to the chaotic energy of 'I Want A Pony', it serves as a perfect entry point into her world of high-gloss digital grit.
