Fischerspooner is an electronic music duo formed in 1998 in New York City, which became a beacon for the electroclash movement in the early 2000s. The duo, consisting of classically trained musician Warren Fischer and performance artist Casey Spooner, combined avant-garde theatrical elements with catchy electronic beats, making them stand out in the dance music scene. Their debut album "#1," released in 2001, brought them critical acclaim, with tracks like "Emerge" putting them on the map as innovative artists blending the boundaries between fine art, performance, and electronic music.

Over the years, Fischerspooner evolved their sound while maintaining their affinity for the flamboyant and the provocative. They reached further audiences with albums like "Odyssey" in 2005 and "Entertainment" in 2009. The duo's 2018 album "Sir," produced by Michael Stipe of R.E.M., revealed a more personal and introspective side of Spooner's lyricism, set against a backdrop of lush and sensual production. Although Fischerspooner announced their disbandment in 2019, their musical legacy endures through their daring explorations of queer identities, electronic landscapes, and boundary-pushing performances. With a discography that includes dancefloor anthems, remixes, and collaborative works such as "Butterscotch Goddam" featuring Johnny Magee and "Togetherness" featuring Caroline Polachek, Fischerspooner remain pillars of the genre they helped define.
