Formed back in 2010, STOLEN is a pioneering and award-winning, Chengdu, China-based electronica quintet that specializes in a high-energy, dance floor friendly sound that features elements of techno, darkwave and post-punk.
Since the release of their full-length debut, 2015’s Loop, the Chinese outfit has built an international profile: Through collaborations with renowned brands like Hermés, Burberry and BMW, they’ve managed to merge their unique sound with current fashion trends. And adding to a growing international profile, they opened for New Order during the British New Wave legends’ 2019 European Union tour.
The Chengdu-based outfit will be embarking on a UK tour in October. The tour will feature newly remastered old and new tracks with enhanced avant-garde VJ visual effects, which promise to be a jaw-dropping live performance.
Earlier this year, the Chinese outfit released the Remanufactured EP. The EP’s latest single, EP closing track “Drown With Me” is a slow-burning, brooding track featuring brief bursts of twinkling keys, atmospheric synths paired with yearning and eerily ethereal vocals. Sonically, recalling Trentemøller’s “A Different Light” and Goldfrapp’s Tales of Us, “Drown With Me” is a gorgeous yet uneasy dream.
