The music of WILLN'T is equal parts yesterday and tomorrow. With textural synthesizers and drum machines running rampant through the songs, there is a vibe equally reminiscent of 80's synth-pop and 70's progressive rock presented for a new audience of inquisitive listeners. Pop writing with vocal urgency brings artists like Bowie and Peter Murphy to mind while the music feels transcendent and familiar at the same time. Artists as varied as <a href="spotify:artist:7C4sUpWGlTy7IANjruj02I" data-name="Peter Gabriel">Peter Gabriel</a> , Roxy Music, <a href="spotify:artist:3CkvROUTQ6nRi9yQOcsB50" data-name="Genesis">Genesis</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:762310PdDnwsDxAQxzQkfX" data-name="Depeche Mode">Depeche Mode</a> are listed as influences on the music.
