Cymbaline is a new wave formation from the Netherlands. Their music draws heavily on the post-punk era of the late ‘70s-early ‘80s. By using vintage synthesizers and drum computers, which reminisce of the rawness and coldness of grey industrial cities, they try to capture the melancholy that is associated with this period. Yet, their music sounds refreshingly up to date. Adam Tristar is a project from musician Adam Tristar (Amsterdam, NL) and vocalist Regina Chapman (NewYork, USA). They try to combine Minimal Synth, Postpunk and Darkwave in a new fresh and unique concept. Influenced by music from Germany and USA, they try to mix the best of both worlds. The project started in 2015 when Adam and Regina made their first demo with the song “Hate close to Love” with very minimal equipment. |
