French darkwave/synth solo project Hørd is back with a new full-length entitled Sciences, which will be released on the 21st of October via Avant! Records. Two years after his previous album, Bodies, Hørd returns with an album of less blurry nebulous atmospheres and more on point without losing a single bit of enchantingness, marking a major step-up in Hørd discography.
Started in 2014, producer Sebastien Carl has proven himself to be able to gather a cult fan base around his creation, collaborating with artists such as Hante, Winter Severity Index and Radical G, remixing goth legends Clan Of Xymox and performing live in most European countries.
Debuted by Giallo Disco in 2016, two records on Avant! Records have followed until this upcoming fourth album. While the music keeps on flirting with the darkwave aesthetic in a forward-thinking way, the sound is now clearer than ever.
Elements of EBM, shoegaze and techno are reflected through arctic synth pads, ghostly reverb and urban spleen-filled lyrics to create haunting soundscapes, but Sciences also features beat-driven lead singles that twirl space synths and rounded kicks all over the place like never before. Enhanced by the great mixing and mastering job done by scene-guiding light producer Maurizio Baggio, you'll find balearic arpeggios and clangorous trance crescendo on Arrows, italo suggestions over groovy acid house beats on "Ice", while mid-tempo synthwave marches menacingly on "Turn" and vibrates deeply on "Fires". The first single, "Ice", is out now and you can hear it below. Link
