Madeline v. F. This band is one beautiful woman with a guitar and loop pedal, and one guy fiddling with knobs. Together they make spellbinding, stygian, blues-tinged darkwave.

Seeing Afar live is a fantastic experience. And, if you have the great privilege to be lying on a beanbag in the choir of a Romanesque cathedral while strange images illuminate the apse above your head, it will be a night you'll never forget. Thanks, Afar! Favorite track: Urbanist.

Well, well, welcome again!

You came here at the right time, as we are unleashing not only ours, but also AFAR's first long player.
Over the past year, we've grown very fond of those two, as they keep on surprising and enchanting us with their beautiful world of lo-fi electronica.

The duet combines beautiful and beast-like soundscapes to go alongside this never fading duality of darkness and light.
Music from afar is a collection of stories, dreamt up and thought through in and around a small house in the middle of nowhere a.k.a. Biesenthal and finalised in the comfort of their home.
Sound from afar far away, straight into your frontal cortex, warming up your soul soup.

As this LP isn't necessarily looking for the dancefloor, but wants to be listened to as a whole, we'd like to advise you kindly to buy it as such.
That way, you'll also get the whole trip as a bonus mix for free.

So grab your copy, put the needle on and start wobbling with the music.

From Drosssel & AFAR with much love.

AFAR image

AFAR Berlin, Germany

Psychedelic Krautwave wrapped in analog synth warmth, raw guitar bursts, and machine-driven pulse, carried by a mesmerizing voice. The berlin based duo AFAR move in their sound between Grunge, Trip-hop and electronic-technoid worlds. Their concerts are always a journey, intensified through their magnetic presence and a performance that feels both intimate and immense. ... more
