Their sound defines the 1980s synth-pop era, pushing the boundaries of what electronic music could achieve, blending high art with pop sensibility and an undeniable theatrical flair.

They prove that pop can be smart, camp, and deeply affecting, all while maintaining a signature, instantly recognizable sound.
