Paradox Obscur - Artifact

Paradox Obscur are a category on their own. This time they return to offer us a mix of electronic beats that form a new order of things in the so-called modern minimal scene. With melodies that are capable of uplifting you while simultaneously preserving the epic element of the analog form, a steady value in the recording that comes from real-time engagement. Ten songs with rich sound for all the whimsical dark romantic minds. “Artifact” here is not a term, it is the way to turn it into a journey that otherwise begins and ends, making the 40 minutes of listening, in an oasis free of the usual boredom that prevails in today’s releases.

Paradox Obscur - Anacrusis

Peripheral Minimal is proud to announce the forthcoming, Paradox Obscur album. ‘Anacrusis’ – now available for pre-order. This is their second album and their first on a full-length LP.

‘Anacrusis’ is a massive dark monument full of analog tendencies to conquer the dancefloor… an album of complex Coldwave and Minimal Synth. Rapidly becoming a cult act, this album will surely become a classic of it’s genre, and will hopefully please new and current fans of the band. Another milestone for Rhodes’ finest.

Paradox Obscur use only hardware synthesizers and everything is performed and recorded in real time without the use of software.

Limited edition of 300 copies.

Paradox Obscur

Paradox Obscur’s debut self-titled album is now available for pre-order on Peripheral Minimal, presented in a jewelcase CD and limited to just 200 copies, with artwork by Frantz Schlusselhuber.

Paradox Obscur hail from Rhodes and feature members, ‘Kriistal Ann’ and ‘Toxic Razor’, they pride themselves, “on using exclusively, real hardware synthesizers & drum machines”. Soundwise they create unique Minimal Synth and Coldwave that can be compared to fellow Greek acts, ‘Selofan’ and ‘Human Puppets’, drawing on melancholic synthscapes and early eighties Coldwave.
