The story of this German band is super interesting and very important for electronic music history, as @Roll said.
The band's work has influenced a diverse range of artists and many genres of modern music, including synth-pop, hip hop, post-punk, techno, house music, ambient, and club music.[1] In 2014, the Recording Academy honoured Kraftwerk with a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.[2] They later won the Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronic Album with their live album 3-D The Catalogue (2017) at the 2018 ceremony. In 2021, Kraftwerk was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in the early influence category.[3] As of 2023, the band continues to tour,[4] with the members' live performances celebrating Kraftwerk's fiftieth anniversary.[5]

Sounds almost 8bit inspired. Really interesting concept, rolling 8bit add adding other electro elements into it to create this "retro" electronic sound. Really cool.
