Tess Perry sings in the language of ghosts. A dark and ethereal force, she blends 80s-inspired synthwave, jazz-infused vocals, and haunting storytelling into music that feels both timeless and futuristic. Raised in Rochester, NY, now based in Los Angeles, she crafts synthwave anthems for a civilization unraveling in real time. Inspired by Depeche Mode, Kate Bush, Jan Hammer, the Eurythmics, and Nina Simone, Tess fuses lush synths, hypnotic melodies, and deeply introspective lyrics, drifting between darkwave and dreampop.

Her music is the soundtrack of survival, the voice of a dreamer refusing to be swallowed by the machine. A member of Gen Z, she belongs to a generation raised on nostalgia for a past they never knew—one before technofeudalism, climate collapse, and the isolating effects of hyperconnectivity. That longing for something lost before it could ever be experienced is woven into every note.

Tess's debut single, "Neon Desert" (out 1/31/25), captures the heartbreak of growing up and realizing the world we inherited is not what it was promised to be. It is the first glimpse into her upcoming EP, "Anthems for the Apocalypse", a love letter to a world on the edge.
