A true classic of modern minimal synth, unavailable for more than a decade. Makina Girgir emerges from the shadows with a soundscape deeply rooted in the early 80's synth-pop and industrial scene. Drawing inspiration from pioneering acts like Cabaret Voltaire, Kraftwerk, Chris & Cosey, The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Coil, Talk Talk, Severed Heads, their music is a rich homage to an era that reshaped electronic music. Yet, Makina Girgir doesn’t merely replicate the past - they reinterpret it with a modern twist.

The band's lyrics delve into profound and universal themes: the human soul, melancholy, the fragility of life, and the inevitability of death. They weave their narratives through the timeless words of literary giants such as Tolstoy, Gorky, Dostoevsky, and Tvardovsky, infusing the music with an intellectual depth. With the band's cold, spoken female vocals delivered in a haunting blend of French, English, and Russian, they paint an immersive, misty, and mysterious sonic world that is captivating and unsettling.
