Skryabin Essentials
Apple Music
Straight from Ukraine comes Skryabin, a dark enterprise that has steadily generated synth-pop, post-punk, goth and New Wave. Founded in 1989, the band became a cult favourite in their homeland and later earned broader recognition, thanks to a stack of studio albums and listeners' love for lead singer Andriy Kuzmenko. One constant has been the outfit's music. Fans of acts like The Cure, Sisters of Mercy, Joy Division are sure to appreciate Skryabin's sombre passages, replete with dusky synths, driving beats and brooding vocals.
