Synthetic Villains Lancaster, UK
Instrumental, mostly electronic music.
From the "experimental, slightly off-kilter" (Bandcamp New
& Notable) synth-pop of the debut album to the "pulsing Berlin School synths" (Electronic Sound Magazine) of the latest albums, SV albums explore drones, repetitions, textures and riffs.
The 3rd album is over on Werra Foxma's Sub Club.

On their 10th record, the Glasgow-based group serves up more wonderfully menacing, gothy synthpop, perfect for dungeon dancing.
