Desinteresse (nl), Crush Of Souls (fr)

Desinteresse is a Dutch coldwave band consisting of Bart (bass), Joppe (drums) and Sem (vocals/synth/guitar). Their aim is to recreate the sound from a past era, using only analog equipment, seeing this as a form of art, identity and expression. Cold, abandoned and existential feelings mark the melancholic and gloomy atmosphere on stage. Still sounds and voices are not primary - though the message is. Their debut album, Onschuld, was released in September 2025 on Fabrika Records

Based in Paris France, Crush of Souls is the musical and performative endeavor of Charles Rowell (Crocodiles, Flowers of Evil, Issue). A voice straight out of the Bat Cave, Rowell croons and howls over melancholic chord changes and EBM rhythms while saxophones and synths stoke the flames of intrigue. Latest album Captive Youth on Avant! Records.
