'OUTBOUND' by NAEON TEARDROPS

N∆EON TE∆RDROPS is a new artist alias from Norwegian techno and electronica veteran Per Martinsen, mostly known under his guise MENTAL OVERDRIVE. 

Stepping out of his familiar instrumental electronic productions and into vocal-based songwriting, N∆EON TE∆RDROPS explore influences of the synthpop and darkwave of his formative years, while aiming to put these influences into a more contemporary context. 

The music of N∆EON TE∆RDROPS was born out of his writing project PYRAMIDS ON THE MOON – a fictional autobiography in three parts where he explores three alternative timelines of his own life, and where each of his three imagined personalities create music under different artist aliases.

N∆EON TE∆RDROPS released the single AMNESIACSin 2021, reaching no 8 in the Deutsche Alternative Charts, followed by SHADOWSISTER in 2022, which reached no 12 in the same chart.

The latest single, WATERS RISING, released in March 2023, is currently at no 7 in the DAC, and at no 22 in the Indie Disko Top 40.

The new single OUTBOUND will be released on April 28th 2023, and the new song takes on a more optimistic mood, though still rooted in the noveau synthpop sound of previous NT output, and prompts you to “leave it all behind, and start another life”.

OUTBOUND will also be released in two remix versions on May 12th. One of the mixes is done by fellow Norwegian dance music maestro LINDSTRØM, and the other from Tromsø’s own KOHIB.

A full album entitled TESTIMONY is in its final completion, and will be released later this year, and N∆EON TE∆RDROPS is now also open for live bookings through Standing Ovation Agency.
