The dark electro/synth-pop duo from Switzerland, Blackbook, released a new single and lyric video, "Technophobia". A sharp and catchy track for all modern new wave souls who feel a little lost in a world of constant connection. Retro-flavoured synths meet a paranoid pulse, creating the perfect soundtrack for those who dream in analogue.
Blackbook's "Technophobia" dives deep into digital anxiety and is meant for fans of synthpop, darkwave, and 80s-inspired electro. This one's for you—if your heart skips a beat every time your phone rings... you’re not alone.
Disconnect to reconnect, and in case that you've missed it, over HERE is Blackbook's previous single "Eternal Glory". Link

16.08.25 Manchester UK, Infest
