Cold, clinical synths and detached vocals that capture the isolation of modern city life. Darkwave with a sharp, Swedish electronic edge for late-night introspection.
MORE is a contemporary Swedish electronic project, formed in 2018, that operates at the intersection of darkwave, synth-pop, and industrial-lite. Not to be confused with the NWOBHM band of the same name, this iteration of MORE is characterized by a sleek, modern production aesthetic that aligns with the 'Scandi-noir' musical tradition.
Their sound identity is built on minimalist arrangements, utilizing cold analog-style synths and rigid percussion to create an atmosphere of urban isolation. Since their debut, they have maintained a prolific output, including albums like 'Appraisal' and 'From The Past', which have solidified their reputation within the underground European dark electronic scene. Critical consensus highlights their ability to balance catchy, melodic synth hooks with a pervasive sense of existential dread. They are often cited as part of a new wave of artists reclaiming the 1980s darkwave sound for a digital-native audience, focusing on themes of alienation and the repetitive nature of modern existence. Their influence web connects back to early pioneers like Kraftwerk and Depeche Mode, while their contemporary peers include acts like Lebanon Hanover or Boy Harsher.
