Complex (also known as "Cheer") is an unidentified snippet from the 1980s that was discovered in an old cassette tape of a compilation of songs.
Background
On September 2nd, 2015, YouTube user нeт войнe! posted a video titled "Unknown Postpunk & Wave from Switzerland 1" containing snippets recorded off of a cassette tape from the radio in Switzerland. In the video, the OP states "As far as I remember, this one is called complex and had both a male & female singer".[1]
On May 31st, 2020, a new video called "Unknown Postpunk & Wave from Switzerland" was uploaded by нeт войнe!. This version included all of the lost songs from his older videos, which were uploaded in 2015, as well as some previously unseen clips from his tapes.[2] The new video included a snippet of vocals before the "Complex" snippet, which some searchers mistook as saying "Cheer," but it was revealed to be a leftover from The Indian Feast's song "Loneliest Person," and the vocal actually said "Yes."[3] "Loneliest Person" preceded "Complex" in the original video and was copied over to the new video as нeт вoйнe! lost the original files and tape.[4][5]
On May 12th, 2022, нeт вoйнe! created a blog post explaining how he used to record his snippets from Radio DRS (DRS3), a German-language radio station in Switzerland.[6]
On March 27th, 2024, нeт вoйнe! posted a complete recreation of the song based on his memory and released the instrumental four days later.[7][8] This inspired an instrumental remake by user Moody Riffs in GarageBand on April 5th, 2024.[9]
Leads
Possible
- The Indian Feast: Band that preceded "Complex" on нeт войнe!'s tape[10]
- Wallagh: Dutch band with a similar sound to the snippet[11]
Debunked
- Micro Kids: OP thought the song was created by them.[12] Their vocalist Raffaella Felder confirmed that they did not create the song, but suggested that it was made in Zurich.[13]
