His music is related to the retro-synth and 80's inspired scenes recently highlighted by the movie Drive's soundtrack. His sound is described as "dreamy synth-filled tracks that fall somewhere on the spectrum between disco and new wave", "contemporary but retro-tinged" or "easy, breezy [...] chugging along on airy synthesizers like a weekend train to the beachside town of Nantes". Now his music is considered as "70s inspired disco [...]. Borrowing influences from pop, disco, house, and indie".

Crazy Eyes
Anoraak Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let's forget all about time
Show me what you've got
And tease me up all the line
Will you drive me mad?
It's too early to start to say so
Keep on doin' it right
Tonight i feel like i need to go wild
Drive my steps until the morning light
Take me by your side
Drive my steps all along the night
What do i look like?
It's now time to set some fire
Long time no see, right?
We have to make up for lost times
Drive these people mad
Oh you're still the floor headline
Keep on doin' it right
Tonight i feel like i need to lose my mind
Take me by your side
Drive my steps until the morning light
Take me by your side
Drive my steps all along the night

Saw them on Saturday--one of the best shows. Also, far cooler/welcoming to the crowd than I ever expected.

I would love to read the lyrics. :( Is it "Take me by your side, drive my ~steps~ until the mourning light"? Can't hear it!
