Maraudeur

Retrofuturism is a staple term used in film. It blurs the lines of looking into the future while using a lens inspired by decades past. This push-and-pull tension of the past littering the future creates an unsettling feeling. It makes us feel nostalgic for something that hasn’t happened yet. MARAUDEUR is a similar, perplexing blend of decades: ’70s NY no wave/Rough Trade art-punk that when applied to mechanical ’80s coldwave, sounds beyond modern. MARAUDEUR, whose lyrics are in English, German, and French, further plays into this hard-to-pin-down time or place on the map. Yesterday becomes a bridge to tomorrow.  Is it possible to feel uneasy, cozy, and also want to dance? The answer is yes.
