Popstrangers are an indie rock band formed by Joel Flyger (guitar/vocals/saxophone/synthesiser), Adam Page (bass), and David Larson (drums), three native New Zealanders who now reside in London.

After releasing several singles on New Zealand independent label Flying Nun, Popstrangers delivered their debut album Antipodes in 2013. Recorded in the basement of a 1930's dancehall, Antipodes features dissonant, claustrophobic melodies, anchored by the languid affectations of Flyger's vocals.[citation needed] Their sophomore project Fortuna soon followed in 2014, further developing the band's psychedelic pop sound and receiving much critical acclaim upon release. [1][2]
