Hit the B Button!

**Hit the B Button!** is a quirky indie pop duo hailing from Portland, Oregon, known for blending nostalgic video game-inspired synths with introspective lyrics. Formed in 2018 by childhood friends Maya Torres (vocals, synths) and Eli Chen (production, guitar), the pair carved out a niche with their DIY ethos and playful nods to retro gaming culture. Their music often explores themes of escapism and emotional disconnect in the digital age, reflected in tracks like "Let’s Go Somewhere Else" and the dreamy existentialism of "To Water on Mars." Their 2023 *Apartments EP* further cemented their reputation for crafting lo-fi bedroom pop anthems about urban loneliness, packaged with a signature mix of 8-bit blips and warm analog textures. They’ve built a loyal following through energetic live shows and a steadfast refusal to take themselves too seriously.
