a playful electroclash stomper

non·plus:
tr.v. To put at a loss as to what to think, say, or do; bewilder
n. A state of perplexity, confusion, or bewilderment

Nonplus. It means, "at a loss for words, perplexed," and it fits. Their music is far beyond anything you've experienced. It exudes Electroclash energy. It is New Wave romanticism with 21st century production. It's an alien orchestra playing otherworldly Bossa Novas.

It has depth.

Nonplus is the creative outlet of Bobby Wilks along with muse Christiane Ingenthron and other guests. In their songs, classic analog synthesis meshes with bleeding-edge digital technology; Hard electro beats blend with luscious textures in searing dance tracks. Add the heartfelt lyrics--more poetry than pop--and you will find yourself recalling first kisses, missed opportunities and last goodbyes.

There is passion.

Spring 2004 finds Wilks completing Nonplus' debut album amidst production work with electronic music luminaries: BT, Deepsky, and Mount Sims; and collaborations with rising alternative stars: Compüfonic and Lilys.
