Lord Of The Lost vocalist Chris Harms has finally been able to fulfill his long-standing dream on today. Chris’ first solo album 1980 takes listeners to the heart of that decade’s synthpop, without forgetting new wave and gothic elements, and the last single Lunamor, relesed early this week, sums up the album’s vibes in perhaps the most romantic way possible.
“Sometimes one word is enough to spark an entire song. I remember almost a year ago I was alone on deck on the 70,000 Tons Of Metal cruise and was enchanted by the Caribbean moon. The words luna and amor merged in my head to form the word lunamor and I thought what a great song name! A few months later, a whole story and its soundtrack emerged from it, which found a home on his solo album. From a metal cruise to a synapop album, great!”, Chris says.
As with all his previous singles, Chris is also releasing a music video for Lunamor, which you can watch here. Previously released singles from the album, along with their music videos, are now also available to watch on Napalm Records’ YouTube channel.
The upcoming 1980 concept album is a coherent whole that Harms has had time to think about for a long time.
“If I had to categorize this album and put a label on it, I would probably say that it’s a strange but successful mix of Depeche Mode, Modern Talking and Sandra performed by Chris Harms’ voice. But with less perm and hair in the back.”
The album is also available in several formats and special packages here.
