Bodyfest

I love the music this band puts out, it's just got so many vibes to it, some songs are light and friendly while others are dark and mysterious.

A band I stumbled upon by accident, I was simply searching for Techno music and wanted to find a band that did not sound generic. Any band can sound generic, it's easy just copy another band's style and there you have it, but these guys are not like that, they are unique! As I have said before their songs can have a range of emotions, one of my personal favourites of theirs is a song called 'Dead Market' it has such an eery vibe to it, but at the same time it is very peaceful, this juxtaposition allows for the listener to interpret how they feel best!

The audience which praised this bands to the highest of heavens went absolutely wild when the band went on to perform their tune 'Crossfire' as the gentle synths slithered out of the speakers, the energy had already begun to stack onto itself and at any given moment we all knew what was coming....... the kicks came in and the singing began it was crazy! The strobe lights flashed across the room, and each second held a second of our bodies in motion.

The vibe was amazing, anybody would be lucky to see the German duo perform, because when they do, you will never forget what you have heard and seen!

Synth Pop has taken many forms since the pioneers started to lay down the synth lines, but the under the deft hands of Promenade Cinema their hauntedly striking soundscapes resonate with absolute distinction.

After hearing their debut album “Living Ghosts” and falling in love with the polished sound, there was the slight doubt that a live set would give that same cinematic indulgence which the duo is quickly becoming renowned for. The cynicism slipped away as the raw power of the vocals gelled with the melodies filling the room with their expressively magnetic sound.

With arrestive baritone vocals from Dorian reverberating around Emma’s harmonies the vocal texture allowed the candid lyricism to conjure darkly poignant imagery. Yet, unlike what you’ve grown to be accustomed to with darkwave, there’s a unique warmth with the Sheffield-based artist’s stylistic approach to their sound.

With the influence of 70s & 80s synth and film scores being fed into the undiluted emotion of their music comes with a flood of viscerally danceable euphoria. Promenade Cinema may lean on the inspiration from artists of decades past, but they’re still the safest hands for the evolution of Synth Pop to be in right now.

You can check out Promenade Cinema’s debut album Living Ghosts for yourselves by heading over to Spotify or grab yourself a copy via Bandcamp.
