Zebra and Snake - Money In Heaven

We love this Finnish alt-pop duo. Money In Heaven is the shiniest jewel in their sparkling collection, and finds them doing what they do best – putting a human heartbeat back into synth-pop. There’s a reason this genre was at it’s best in the 1980s; it still referred to the kind of emotions found in the music that had come before. Zebra and Snake have distinct traces of religious music in their sound, courtesy of Tapio’s strict Lutherian upbringing in rural Finland, and they freshen up the classic synth-pop template with youthful energy. The album, “Healing Music”, is out in May.
