Comfort In The Silence
PINHDAR are an Italian duo comprising singer Cecilia Miradoli and guitarist/producer Max Tarenzi; friends of the label for some time, they even flew over to play our summer Dr. Sardonicus festival a few years back. Journalist Kris Needs described their previous album as "impassioned vocals swathed in swirling sonic pyramids of synths, guitars and electronics - one of the year's rare gems" Now we have their new album, 'Comfort In The Silence' (their third for Fruits de Mer) - across its nine tracks, they refine their signature blend of trip-hop, darkwave and electronica - dreamlike and rich in texture, yet never lapsing into imitation; layered trip-hop rhythms, Max's darkwave and atmospheric guitars, and Cecilia's evocative voice build to create an intense/cinematic experience. Production is handled by PINHDAR, with mixing by Ian Caple (Tricky, Martina Topley-Bird), With Lee Pomeroy (Archive) on bass. "An outstanding work within its genre, with genuine international appeal" (Rumore magazine, Italy) "An album that grows with every listenrefining, elegant, iconic, essential and deeply moving" (RockShock magazine, Italy)
