Darkwave / post punk duo SDH have unveiled their haunting video for The Scent. You can check it out via YouTube below.
SDH (Semiotics Department of Heteronyms) is the new project of two key figures of the synth-wave/industrial scene of Barcelona.
Andrea P. Latorre and Sergi Algiz, founders of the Cønjuntø Vacíø label and also in the post-punk band Wind Atlas, unveil a new act more oriented towards pop music.
SDH is change, alteration, distortion, metamorphosis. Their synth-pop songs, sprinkled with EBM and techno, are mysterious, obtuse and suggestive. The project seems to revolve around the idea of fiction. What is the language of feigned personalities? What is fiction? An individual is one and another, is liquid. It is physical. Incarnating someone is doing it in a corporeal way: making it flesh. Conceive: everything is real: reality does not exist. How is a fiction embodied?
After their debut digital EP ‘Tell Them‘ from last March, here comes the self-titled first full-length album.
Eight tracks driven by sinuous synth lines, steady beats and Andrea’ sensual, nocturnal vocals at times reminding of the late Dolores O’Riordan, give the record one overall lush, velvety feeling. Like a dive at the heart of the Spanish night, but nowhere near any movida. Instead an isolated, sombre yet erotic one, like two long-time lovers walking home in the early morning hours.
‘Semiotics Department Of Heteronyms’ is out now on black vinyl LP limited to 250. Artwork by Camila Dunster (http://cargocollective.com/camiladunster)
