Years to Burn is an Indie Synth Pop music collaboration between producer and singer-songwriter Janessa van Koppen & electronic music artist Keaton Mason (Jakean). The independent, small town artist’s musical style explores 80’s retro inspired synths with a modern indie flair. Dreamy reverb instrumentals paired with darker lyrics influenced by a range of artists such as Caribou, Coldplay, City & Colour, Daft Punk, Death From Above 1979, Metric, Porter Robinson, Pearly Drops, Sufjan Stevens, Thom Yorke, Yeah Yeah Yeahs & many more.
