Crimewave

Merging driving synths with dark, neon-streaked imagery equally inspired by vintage cyberpunk, horror, and sleaze, Crimewave, from Essex, and her partner in crime, Waves_On_Waves present darkwave masterpieces and acoustic goth rock anthems. The mind altering sonics and phantom overtones throughout Crimewave's music serve as a perfect soundtrack for Indie IFC horror films. As if recorded at a post-industrial seance for Mr. Kitty, Grum, Eli & Fur, Crystal Castle, Pastel Ghost, Mother Mary, Trevor Something, Timecop1983, Danz CM, Depeche Mode, and Ben Bohmer, Crimewave and Waves_On_Waves manage to reinvent heavy metal for the modern ear, breathing life into its corpse. This goth-rock revival fuses high-res electronic noise and pop hooks so effortlessly it can seem accidental. Yet, beneath the dramatic darksynth production and atmospheric electronic elements are real songs with infectious melodies that will grip you to the bone as if by a dead man’s hand, haunt you like a ghost, and take you on a dark and beautiful journey. There are no tricks. Only darkwave treats when it comes to Crimewave's music. So for all you freaks and ghouls out there, Crimewave's music is for you.
