DRAGER — Synthedelic Pop Artist from Brooklyn, NY

Dräger is the sonic alter ego of Brooklyn-based artist Spencer Draeger — a one-man band, film composer, and architect of modern melancholia.

Equal parts satire and sincerity, Dräger unpacks themes of love, surveillance, and digital-age discontent with a wink and a war cry. His music distills late-night existentialism into something danceable, weaving together sardonic storytelling and cinematic tension with synth-heavy swagger.

"His new dynamic sound is an ingenious blend of old and new inspirations: the driving rhythms of late 70s punk, synth heavy pop of the 80s, and the druggy, electronic compositions of modern psych-pop." — Atwood Magazine

All recordings are 100% written, performed, produced, mixed, and mastered by Spencer Draeger in his Brooklyn studio. A proud Sequential and Eastman Guitars artist, Spencer builds his sound from the ground up with analog synthesizers and vintage instruments.

Formerly of Stereogum "Band To Watch" act The Midnight Hollow, Spencer launched DRAGER in 2016 to explore a more romantic, synth-driven direction. His debut album Goths a la Discotheque was released in 2021 on Trash Casual.
