THROES NYC: The Dark Pop Living on the Beating Heart of New York"

The Wires Out - A haunting collision of alt-pop, trip-hop, and electronic nostalgia delivered through the restless style of New York.

THROES NYC musically puts obsession into the trance like compositions, delicate vocals, and sensual melodies. THROES NYC is a music duo from Queens consisting of a multi-instrumentalist/producer, Michael Bozzo, and a singer, Courtney Leo, who have been playing and writing music with each other since childhood. They both were born and raised across the street from each other in Queens, and spent much of their teenage years hanging out. Their experience kicks the aura to a next level.

The sound blends the truths of the New York City underground music scene with soft, spacey electronica, comforting analog sounds, and poetic lyrics. In their own way, though, they produce music that feels intimate and genuine but heavily nostalgic.

THROES NYC's The Wires Out is a moody and emotionally restless EP that feels like wandering around New York City late at night.

Using dark alt-pop, trip-hop, synth sounds, and a filmic production style, the duo constructs a world where love and doubt and no place to hide are always coinciding. The EP is marked by echoes of longing, but it is definitely no easy nostalgia trip. Instead of feeling trapped back in 90s or 2000s New York, THROES NYC brings a heady strain of new music and transforms it into a version that's smooth, modern, melodic, and unique.

"Something Chemical" captures the EP's darker emotional essence, suspense, and a trace of obsession; the song is tainted and hard to conquer. Its electronic textures and mesmerizing beats generate phantom-like surroundings, escalating the cool atmosphere of the instrumentals.

"Always, Baby" softens the EP even more. While "Something Chemical" hinges on doubt and lust, this one leans more toward warmth and open affection. "Bridge" and "Fight the urge" these songs highlight their range, while still showing much of the same emotional nuance in both.

Throughout The Wires Out, Bozzo and Leo try to incorporate pop polish and glossy production values alongside more skim milk, lo-fi looks, and echoes light-out ballads, filling each tune with space. And it manages to do so without losing the genuine intent of the record's urban, experimental, and sentimental inclinations.

What makes The Wires Out so compelling is its destination. You can practically picture these tunes being sung on a midnight car ride through New York, when familiar streets suddenly feel unfamiliar and memories, desire, and possibility blur together, bringing out the longing, and fantasy all melt into one; THROES NYC do exactly that.
