While Jean-Benoit Dunckel (Air, Tomorrow’s World, Darkel) and Bardi Johannsson (Bang Gang, Lady & Bird) are well known for other musical endeavours, Starwalker is by no means just a side project – Starwalker is the coming-together of two electro-pop icons, creating the music they were destined to make.
The result is celestial music that is all at once shadowy, poetic, vibrant, and complex, with surprises for those who engage. The spatial name represents the merging of two distinctive styles, voices and personalities: a project inspired both by the unpredictable nature of Johannsson’s Iceland and the clean, classic design of Dunckel’s France which pulls you in with its intensity.
With one EP and three singles released from the album already, ‘Bad Weather’, ‘Blue Hawaii’ and ‘Losers Can Win’, they have received outstanding reviews. The 4th single, ‘Le President’, released on the 1st of December, with a brand new video, and the pair’s first full-length album arriving in 2016.
