Crash Test Junkie

Collapsing New People were founded in 2002 in Vienna by Didi Disko and Cy. In the beginning they were heavily influenced by New Wave and Post Punk, but soon began to work with pop melodies. Two albums, compilation appearances, and live gigs in the USA and Europe earned the band a strong following and fan base. In 2010 the band started to work on their third album, inspired by diverse interests such as Trip Hop, Funk, Dada, Art brut, Film Noir and Science Fiction. Crash Test Junkie, released by Klanggalerie in June 2012, sees Collapsing New People bringing their futurist electropop to perfection. Danceable pop songs meet experimental pieces, catchy hooklines meet playful melodies and psychedelic sound layers, analogue synths melt with guitars, strings and toy instruments.
