Hunter Complex is the moniker of Dutch artist Lars Meijer. In the late eighties Meijer began releasing rudimentary synth music on handmade tapes, before turning to lo-fi pop as Larz in 1994, resulting in two albums on the Californian cult label Blackbean and Placenta. Around the turn of the century Meijer released several albums with the improvisational electro-acoustic band Psychon Troopers and electronic music duo Living Ornaments, including music on famous labels like Deathbomb Arc and Skam.

Meijer began working as Hunter Complex in 2008. The self-titled debut album came out in 2010 and was influenced by synthpop and new wave bands from the 1980s. Follow-up Heat, which was released on Narrominded in 2013, was the last album to feature vocals, but the first featuring the trademark layers of warm and bright digital synths. With Open Sea Meijer delivered an album full of ‘supreme synth goodness’, according to the Death Waltz label that released the album in 2019. Twin record Dead Calm and Zero Degrees was released in 2020 on Burning Witches Records.

The latest Hunter Complex album Airports and Ports was released in 2022 on Burning Witches Records and took a new direction with influences from new age, ethereal jazz and krautrock. It features contributions by Kat Apple (flute, Emerald Web), Aquiles Navarro (trumpet, Irreversible Entanglements), Justin Sweatt (guitar) and Coen Oscar Polack (field recordings). It was awarded five stars in Dutch newspaper de Volkskran, who called it ‘peerless, full of tranquility and sonic comfort’.

In October 2023 Hunter Complex did a live score to Der Golem, Wie Er in die Welt Kam, a slient movie by Paul Wegener from 1920, at the Imagine Fantastic Film Festival in Amsterdam. A soundtrack to the animation film Oars and Ears by Marna van Hal arrived in November 2025. A new album is slated for release early 2026.
