LemonTech is a duo from Dallas, making spacey dream pop anchored by fat bass and groovy drums. “NeuroFuzzy” is about the chemical reaction of falling in love. “We both have science backgrounds, so the idea of writing a nerdy love song referencing neurotransmitters felt like a fun callback to those days,” Valerie Truong from LemonTech said.
