Milliken Chamber ist das Synthwave-Projekt von Anna Schmidt und Kevin Czarnik. Im Januar haben sie ihr großartiges Album Absence veröffentlicht – ein elektronischer Cocktail aus dunklem Coldwave und melodisch tanzbarem Synth-Pop. Beide waren Mitglieder der Minimal-Wave-Band Prudence. Kevin Czarnik ist erfolgreich mit Forever Grey unterwegs und hat kürzlich mit seinem Synth-Projekt Belladonna Grave ein neues Album veröffentlicht. Anna Schmidt ist klassisch ausgebildete Sopranistin und widmet sich mit ihrem Solo-Projekt Jane Chain den eher düsteren und experimentellen Klanglandschaften. So viel musikalische Kreativität macht neugierig auf das neuste Projekt der beiden.
Who is behind Milliken Chamber?
The band name was based off of a room in which we stayed when we decided to write some new material under a new name. Milliken Chamber is a rose colored, victorian-style room in a bed and breakfast in Traverse City, MI (Am.d. Redaktion: Michigan).
