Com Truise, the stage name of American electronic musician Seth Haley, is known for his signature style that blends the nostalgia of 1980s synth-wave with contemporary production techniques. He emerged in the late 2000s with a distinct approach to synth music, characterized by lush soundscapes and an affinity for retrofuturism. Haley adopted the pseudonym as a play on the name of the famous actor Tom Cruise, and he quickly distinguished himself within the chillwave and synthwave scenes for his intricate, synthesizer-heavy compositions.

Most of Com Truise's output feels like a homage to the past viewed through the lens of the future, producing tracks like "Brokendate" and a series of successful remixes, such as "Duplex (Com Truise Remix)" and "No Stress (Com Truise Remix)." The 2011 release "Galactic Melt," which received a 10th Anniversary Edition, is considered one of his seminal works, further cementing his reputation as a master of moody and cinematic electronic music. Haley's evolution as an artist was apparent with the release of "In Decay, Too," a collection that showcased his ability to evolve within the electronic genre, maintaining his nostalgic touch while pushing into new sonic territories. With every remix and original release, Com Truise solidifies his status within the electronic community, delivering music that resonates with lovers of synth-heavy and evocative electronic beats.
