CURL

**CURL** is a UK-based synthpop duo known for their retro-futuristic sound that blends nostalgic 80s synths with modern electronic beats. Formed by producers/vocalists Alex and Jamie (last names not publicly disclosed), the pair crafts moody, danceable tracks that explore themes of digital anxiety, identity, and escapism. Their recent releases—like the glitchy anthem *Shapeshifters* and the neon-lit *Exit Real Life*—showcase their knack for pairing introspective lyrics with pulsing, analog-inspired production. Often described as "cyberpunk pop," CURL’s music, including their 2023 EP *Simulation Ride*, feels like a love letter to vintage sci-fi soundtracks reimagined for TikTok-era existentialism. They maintain a deliberately mysterious online presence, letting their shimmering synthscapes and cryptic visuals speak for themselves.
