Fur Trapper’s “Never Enough (Modern Human)” Is a Late-Night Fever Dream for the Overstimulated Generation

Let’s be honest: most “synth-pop” artists swear they’re weird, but Fur Trapper is actually weird, in the best, most committed way. Lisa Rieffel’s alter ego has always lived somewhere between a glitch in the matrix and a cigarette break outside an underground club, but “Never Enough (Modern Human)” feels like the moment she stops hinting and just rips the curtain down.

The new music video, written and directed by Rieffel herself, is the kind of surreal, hyper-digital spiral that makes you question whether you’re watching art or slipping into a dream you didn’t consent to. Using greenscreen like a mad scientist discovering a new toy, she builds a world that’s glossy, uncanny, seductive, and slightly uncomfortable… kind of like being alive right now.

The whole thing hits with this Wings of Desire energy, but filtered through a modern, overstimulated brain that’s been chewed up by consumer culture and spit out scrolling at 3 a.m. “Never Enough (Modern Human)” taps into that feeling we all hate to admit, wanting everything, feeling nothing, pretending we’re fine.

Rieffel doesn’t dress it up. She leans into the tension, pairing shimmering ‘80s synth-pop with visuals that feel like a neon therapy session. It’s cinematic, but personal; polished, but quietly unhinged. Exactly the contradiction she intended.

Her upcoming debut album, SUPER NOW, expands this universe into a full-blown synth playground, glossy textures, shadowy moods, and storytelling sharp enough to cut you. But “Never Enough (Modern Human)” is the centerpiece for a reason. It sums up the entire thesis: beautiful chaos wrapped in a pop song that hits way too close to home.

Fur Trapper isn’t just dropping singles, she’s world-building. And with this release, she’s basically saying, welcome to the simulation, babe.
