The Electric Sons are an Atlanta-based duo consisting of Andrew Miller and Ben Richards, formed in 2011. The project emerged from a unique creative background, with Miller previously working as an illustrator for the FX series 'Archer' and Richards coming from an advertising and design background.
This visual-first pedigree heavily informs their 'Chromaesthesia' aesthetic, where sound is treated as a spectrum of color. Their sound identity is rooted in the early 2010s indietronica movement, blending the accessible song structures of pop-rock with the textural depth of synth-pop and electronic dance music. Critically, they have been praised for their high production values, which often exceed the typical 'indie' label, leaning into a hi-fi, polished sound that favors digital clarity and lush layering. Their career arc shows a consistent evolution from home-recorded experiments (AM83) to sophisticated, self-produced EPs that garnered significant regional radio play and national indie press. They occupy a cultural space alongside acts like Ghost Beach and Passion Pit, serving as a bridge between traditional indie bands and the burgeoning electronic pop scene of the mid-2010s.
