In the vibrant landscape of modern music, where experimentation knows no bounds, emerges Crewless—a band that defies convention with their dynamic trio of vocalists and eclectic blend of genres. Think about bands like The B52’s, Human League, or Mother Mother, where the synergy between three voices creates an electrifying musical palette. It’s the human energy flowing between the singers, the power when they attack a chorus together live, and the fearless feeling of pushing boundaries as a group that defines Crewless. With Jefe, Violet Helm, and Makenna leading the charge on vocals, Crewless captures the essence of collective energy, delivering a sound that’s both infectious and unapologetically diverse. Their musical backbone is described as “house music with punk guitars,” a loose rule that ensures one thing: the music has to make you bob your head. And with Maestre G on soundscapes, wielding his guitar and DJ decks, the band’s sonic landscape is rich and immersive. What sets Crewless apart is their commitment to duality. They thrive on recording two versions of their songs, offering listeners an indie rendition alongside a more electronic interpretation. This ethos stems from Gunther’s multicultural upbringing, where he learned that there’s always more than one way to express oneself. This versatility allows Crewless to traverse different sonic territories while staying true to their artistic vision. Their debut single, ‘Elevator,’ catapulted Crewless into the spotlight, receiving critical acclaim from over 40 publications and claiming the #1 spot on Hype Machine’s popular chart not once, but twice. Now, with their newest single, also titled “Elevator,” Crewless continues to push boundaries and explore the depths of human emotion through music. Released in two versions—’Elevator (going down)’ and ‘Elevator (going up)’—the track showcases the band’s ability to capture the complexities of love and longing. The former, a low-tempo, moody rendition, delves into the emotional rollercoaster of caring deeply for someone whose feelings fluctuate unpredictably. In contrast, the latter is a more upbeat and dramatic interpretation, mirroring the highs and lows of a tumultuous relationship. Produced by Nate Pyfer, whose background in both indie and house music aligns perfectly with Crewless’s eclectic style, and mixed by the talented Finn Bjarnsson, ‘Elevator’ is a testament to the band’s unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of expression through sound and fashion. Drawing inspiration from influences like The Ting Tings, Tame Impala, Daft Punk, and The Kills, Crewless continues to carve their own path in the music industry, captivating audiences with their infectious energy and innovative approach to music-making.
