With True Electric, Röyksopp delivers a lush, cinematic synth-pop voyage that feels like it was beamed in from a forgotten ‘80s arcade at the edge of the universe. This is the band’s third studio album and arguably their most emotionally resonant, sonically ambitious work to date. From the opening track, you are immediately dropped into a glittering soundscape of warped VHS textures, vaporwave melancholy, and pulsing neon basslines. Lead singer vocals feel like they’re constantly on the verge of dissolving into digital stardust—haunting, intimate, and otherworldly. Standout track is a swirling fusion of heartbreak and nostalgia, with a chorus that hits like a synth-powered gut punch. Meanwhile, is straight-up disco-noir, complete with vocoder-drenched harmonies and a saxophone solo that somehow sounds like it’s crying in the rain. Where True Electric occasionally stumbles is in its willingness to get too lost in the dream. The seven-minute ambient interlude “Static in the Snow” could have been trimmed by at least three minutes without losing its emotional weight. But even in its indulgence, the album never feels hollow.In short: True Electric is like plugging your heart into a hologram and slow dancing with your past. Weird, wonderful, and not quite from this dimension.
