Klopfenpop

Ensuring Seattle's delightfully nerdy reputation won't be soon forgotten, Klopfenpop (multi-instrumentalist, singer, producer, emcee Josh Klopfenstein) combines elements of classic game system sound chips and drum samples (namely the NES, Gameboy, and Commodore 64) with fresh, live drum beats, hauntingly jazzy Rhodes piano, and angry synth sounds that cut through the monotony of life. The clear distinction here is the synergy of new with old, electronic with acoustic, digital with organic.
