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.

Amazing!!! I missed out on the vinyl. Hopefully there’s a 3rd pressing of this release in the future. So far, my favorite album of 2021
