Barcelona (Spain) based techno/darkwave/new wave duo SDH (Semiotics Department of Heteronyms) has a few days ago released their sophomore album, Fake Is Real, via Avant! Records. The duo formed by Andrea P. Latorre and Sergi Algiz is a specialist in shedding skin and gladly combines new heteronyms in Fake Is Real, their sophomore album after their self-titled debut in 2018 and subsequent EPs Against Strong Thinking and Maybe A Body.
Another sign is that they trust their modus operandi to mutation and the idea that nothing is ever quite said. In Fake Is Real, SDH go out once again in search of nightclubs that are familiar, but never obvious. The occasion is tremendous and the list of honorees is select: beginning with the producer Kris Baha, who has provided forcefulness to the rhythmic base and prominence to the voices.
The dress code transcends the categories of darkwave, to dress as mischievous EBM, with accessories from new dance, acid house and disrupted but melodic techno, with structured twists that come to caress the electronic psychedelia.
Not unlike early 90's-era Coil, the music here is as important as the idea behind the band, a unit conceived to explore and operate on the margins of the music genres it supposedly belongs to, making it hard and therefore so damn interesting to define what's been done. Ultimately, a work open to so many influences, that it gives a pleasant vertigo to be involved in it.
The entire album is now available for streaming and you can give it a listen below. Link
