“The album Loveless Adventures no longer flirts with occasional atmospheric drumming or catchy, screaming vocals, but opens up to rhythm, infectious melodiousness and begs the listener to dance.”
Izak Kermc, Radio Študent
The dystopian, synth-driven project led by Croatian Goran Lautar emerged in 2015 as a minimalistic, lo-fi synth endeavor rooted in Zagreb’s dynamic DIY scene. Known for its melancholic yet dancy soundscapes, Neon Lies’s work is characterized by vintage tape machines and analog synths to create raw, emotive atmospheres. His latest album Demons, released in May 2024, deepens his exploration of gloomy themes and introspective lyricism, reflecting influences from ‘80s synth and post-punk.
