The Explorers were a British band formed in 1984, primarily known for their synth-pop and new wave musical style. The group was created by former Roxy Music members Phil Manzanera and Andy Mackay, contributing to the band's distinctive sound, a fusion of rock, pop, and electronic elements. Their self-titled debut album, released in 1985, included the single "Lorelei," which achieved moderate success. Despite their short-lived existence, The Explorers hold a significant place in the history of 80s music, particularly for fans of Roxy Music's later work.
