The Mystic Underground is an electronic dance/pop band from New York. Their primary focus is writing synthesizer based songs using their varied influences encompassing post-punk, synthpop, techno, etc., and emphasizing the ideals of classic songwriting. If one take pulsing synths and a little sass... add some melancholy with a good dose of tongue planted firmly in cheek and for good measure, throw in a sense of urgency and surrealism, you have the sounds coming from NYC's electronic pop heroes.
