Dark, romantic, melancholic, entrancing.
Darker is an electronic collective from the Netherlands - an international dark wave/synth pop trio inspired by the common passion for Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, Massive Atack, Nick Cave and beat driven electronic music.
It took a disorienting year like 2020 - as pieces of our everyday life were getting lost - to rediscover time, priorities and the need to communicate, the need to make music.
It was during the very particular months of the first lockdown that producer/songwriter Jeps Salfischberger (formerly Brotherhood Foundation/Chillburn) found himself back in his studio writing new music for DARKER, his creative outlet along the years together with vocalist/keyboard player Evelien Rombouts.
This sudden surge of new music and new sounds required a new singer, found in Valerio Recenti (Voodoo Chambers/My Propane).
DARKER is a mix of raw sounds, layers of grunting synths, grooving and compelling beats and deep, sensual vocal lines.
