- Berlin-based experimental/electronic/dark ambient/post-industrial/darkwave project by Warsaw‘s duo Lee and Michal Laudarg aka NNHMN [Non-Human Persons] “Special” new 2-track single
After the densely immersive and poignantly demanding, yet absolutely compelling obscure and ‘trippy’ conceptual debut album, the Polish duo NNHMN is back to a sober synth-driven song format with a pair of coldwave/darkwave numbers oozing desire and mistery with hypnotic rhythms and darkly pulsing basslines over alluringly haunting and sensual vocal lines.
‘Special’ icy, cold and lush synth that makes for warm hearts.
