Chris Harms, vocalist of Lord of the Lost, will release his debut solo album, 1980, on January 31, 2025, via Napalm Records. The record is separate from what listeners are used to from Lord of the Lost’s style, giving a more 80s-inspired synth-pop atmosphere. Harms has unveiled a retro-styled video for his first single, “I Love You.”
Harms comments on the track:
“‘I Love You’ – that immediately sounds like a cheerful summer hit to me. However, this first impression couldn’t be more wrong. While the 80s synth sound effortlessly creates a sense of lightness, ‘I Love You’ is, at its core, one of the saddest songs I have ever written. Melancholy in neon colors.”
On the album, Harms adds:
“If I were forced to categorize this album and label it, it would probably say ‘a strange but successful mix of Depeche Mode, Modern Talking and Sandra with Chris Harms’ voice, but with less perm and mullet.'”
