Orphia conjures up the disillusions of his generation with krautrock-inspired synths. The Geneva-born singer-songwriter’s first singles—the mesmerising Oberheim and the sombre Crayon Noir—were a hit before his debut EP L’Aventure des Gens Modernes was even released. Cold wave, post-punk, and synth pop make up this Depeche Mode-like album, which blends melancholic, passionate French prose with astounding musical maturity. Are you ready to set off on an adventure with Orphia?
