STYKFAKTOR - New Single And Video Released

St. Louis (USA) based darkwave/electro act Stykfaktor has released a brand new single and video, "Distance". This is a song written in the context of social distancing. It is about a broken relationship that has been difficult to repair and the desire to make amends.

It is the time and experience that makes the process of healing even more difficult when all you can do is make a phone call and hope they answer. "Distance" is about seeing families and friends finding new ways to stay connected in these difficult times. You feel like you've moved on to a point at which you can start healing but now... simply cannot. It's about heartbreak, love, pride, time, accountability, forgiveness...

Stykfaktor is a darkwave band from the midwest established in 2001. Featuring elements of dark electro, synthpop, and goth. A studio project that started out of the ashes of local industrial icons Visions Of Passion & Torture by bassist\keyboardist Styk that quickly evolved into one of St. Louis's most sought after acts. After several albums they found themselves opening for some high profile bands like The Human League and Terminal Bliss.

Fast forward to 2019. Styk is at it again in the studio with a new albums under his belt such as I Feel Synthetic, Fifteen Winters, and Fallen. Looking to yet another new start, Styk is constantly adapting and attempting new things in the studio. The possibility of live shows is always looming. A new band? A new album? Now, listen and watch "Distance" in the player below. Link
