Iโ€™m finding it hard to finding something at the level of Silent Shout )The Knife) or The Inevitable End (Royksopp) absolute electronic pop perfection.

Sophie and Current Value.
Sophie, because signature. Though you hear Autechre and Aphex as influence.

Current Value, because signature, innovative, sounddesign. This guy is/ was way ahead of his time.
Here is an Album you can listen to :
Current Value - Deadly Toys (Full Album) - YouTube

Innovative as in rythms for drum and bass :
Current Value - Consequences - YouTube

Exactlyyyy it feels like thereโ€™s no focus or depth to it anymore. It stopped being pop, now itโ€™s just hyper.

i donโ€™t know if this is really sound design-oriented, but it was the first thing that came to mind and i love this song even though itโ€™s definitely not the sort of thing i usually listen to
