Wave Records: Porcelain Dancer – A Documentary About Nightmares

Porcelain Dancer - A Documentary About Nightmares

Porcelain Dancer is the solo project of Yiannis D, an analog synthesiser engineer who began inventing machines for his passion of music and the desire for gear. After an 8-year break from the scene, having played with several bands as a bass player or synthesist, and after constant interacting with artists from his work as an engineer, the desire to create and communicate through music could not be contained. His passion of post-punk and goth music led in the birth of Porcelain dancer. His first solo album, “a documentary about nightmares” was written in just a couple of weeks, with endless day and night jamming. It was the culmination of therapy, self-awareness, and love.

Wave Records: Night In Athens – Wasted Reflektions

Night In Athens - Wasted Reflektions

Wasted Reflektions is NIA’s third album, which features nine songs and digs into the profound tranquillity that results from immersing oneself in the tumult of modern life. The frenetic synth-punk song Pale Rose, which features NIA’s cajoling and yelling over an electronic repeating beat, kicks off the album on the right foot. It has two extremely dismal tracks including guitar and ethereal, dark, or melancholy vocals like the Words Unspoken and Nightshades. Inspired by the late 70s synthwave the self title song Wasted Reflektions offers a cold minimalistic sound wrapped in whispers.

On this album, NIA experiments with more melodic vocals, yet several songs have a faster tempo that is clearly based in her punk heritage.
