The London duo (Sage Redman & Joe Gillick) unleash their new album that weaves together elements of coldwave, post-punk and contemporary electronica. Their sound is emotional yet driven, a selection of shimmering electronic beats simmering along nicely with soft and hazy vocals.
" The name 'Funktionslust' is a German word which means 'deriving pleasure through the act of creating something'.
At it's core we believe the EP is about the dichotomy of the equally euphoric and isolating aspects of being in an insular relationship with another person, and the sexual undercurrents that exist in their wake. Isolation can lead to existential pondering while the shared joy in things can lead to the highest form of excitement and happiness.
Our music attempts to highlight the juxtaposition of darkness and happiness, heaviness and light, complex and simplistic. Our music possesses experimental tendencies and a great deal of nuance, which we present through the universal veil of pop music. "
