A classic synth duo in the mould of Pet Shop Boys or Soft Cell, Heartbreak are Argentinian singer Sebastian Muravchix and British/French keyboardist Ali Renault. Fusing the modernity of electro with the melodic drama of early 80s Italo Disco, spiked with the dark energy of metal bands such as Black Sabbath, the London-based pair's powerful synth-pop has been described by Vice magazine as "how the '80s would sound today if the '90s hadn't got in the way". Others have christened it, with good reason, "metallo".
Championed early on by the likes of Aphex Twin, Vitalic and Klaxons, Heartbreak's music is rooted in the underground techno and disco of their youth. Yet it only takes one listen to "We're Back", "Robot's Got The Feeling" or "Akin To Dancing" to appreciate Heartbreak's timelesness... Then you see them live, catch Sebastian in his element, and it makes even more sense.
Wherever they play, Heartbreak kill it. At grimy electro nights, ritzy disco clubs, art parties, between rock bands in a pub, or at festivals, Heartbreak leave all mortals dancing with tears in their eyes.
