7 New Electropop Singles

ATR31

“The Air”

The duo known as ATR31 is so uber hip and modern they actually met on Tinder. True story. The pair established a musical connection and took their project’s name from the anime series, and movie, Neon Genesis Evangelion. “The Air” comes to us from their self-titled debut EP. The song slinks out toward the listener and captures their attention despite the lack of ostentation. The effect is a bit like a half-remembered dream. Listen to “The Air” from ATR31 and, if you like what you’re hearing, check out their EP also available through Soundcloud.
