YOUTUBE ►

Regular CD inside a 3-panel Digipak. Same tracks as on Vinyl.

The Healer marks Sydney's 7th LP, embarking on a sonic journey to depict the multifaceted aspects of toxic love: from abandonment and addiction to despair, jealousy, passion, and hate. A vivid portrayal of a tortured soul navigating the meanders of Eastern Europe, it steeps in the echoes of past wars and spectral memories. Snowy melodies of bells resonate against muted landscapes, while an old television flickers with black and white images, narrating a tragic romance culminating in the tumult of internal strife.

Sonically, Sydney traverses the vast expanse of the dark wave spectrum, seamlessly blending elements of EBM, Ambient, SynthPunk, Italo-Disco, Classical, and Goth-Wave, all anchored by an unwavering pop sensibility, and a sharp sense of humor.

His approach to production and composition strikes a balance between the vintage and the contemporary, showcasing his mastery of high production standards while also deconstructing songs to their raw beginnings. This process exposes the evolution of his pop hits, capturing moments of uncertainty and experimentation as he navigates his creative journey.

These new songs promise to electrify Sydney's upcoming live performances, renowned for being among the most dynamic and captivating solo acts, setting a standard in electronic music performance.
