The Belgian-Dutch synthpop trio Fortress makes dark, spherical electronics, carried by the voice of Hanne Torfs, you may know as the keyboardist of School is Cool.

Experimental electronics and processed vocals are combined with nostalgic synths and intricate percussion, creating a strange yet captivating vibe. Forever lost in an imaginary crooked videogame
