Spiking extremely retro electropop tendencies (recalling Kraftwerk, early Depeche Mode, and Gary Numan) with a modern approach to programming, Fischerspooner produces a quirky, robotic, and strangely subdued kind of dance music. Their albums can be seen as soundtracks to their stageshows, as opposed to recordings which are performed live.

Many critical theorists have latched on to the band for their subversive attitude and sassy stylings - Judith Butler, Etienne Balibar, and Antonio Negri, to name a few.

On October 30, 2019, the duo announced their breakup via Instagram.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Fischerspooner's "Turn On" describe a seductive encounter between two people. The first few lines set the scene - the listener is "getting warm," and can hear the sound of a creaking door. The next stanza suggests that the two people are drawn to each other despite the danger. The imagery of winds sweeping and pulling the listener close adds to the sense of urgency and intensity. The lyrics then describe the physical sensations of the encounter - the singer is "hot" and the listener is "pink and wet."

The refrain, "I am your frontier explore my heart," suggests that the encounter is not just physical, but emotional as well. The singer is inviting the listener to explore their innermost thoughts and feelings. The use of the word "pioneer" in the final stanza reinforces this idea - the singer is asking the listener to be brave and explore uncharted territory. The repetition of the phrase "You're getting warmer, warmer, warmer tonight" adds to the sense of anticipation and excitement.
