Born out of the Covid pandemic amidst the crumbling of societal infrastructure, Dutch Experts is the brainchild of singer/songwriter Hannah Hoffman. Turning one of her lowest and most challenging points into a revisitation of her approach to her sound, Hoffman began experimenting with layering synths and electronic drum beats in Garageband, creating a sonic landscape that bore the fruits of Dutch Experts and the creation of a debut EP, ‘Bound by This’. Inspired by her personal challenges, the gothic landscape of The Cure, and melodic choices informed by Kate Bush and Cocteau Twins, Hoffman locked into a sound that became uniquely modern with an 80s sonic sensibility - a place where classic new wave, synth pop and the darker edges of pop music converge.
