UK synthpop and darkwave band Magnetic Skies has signed with Over The Border Records‘ booking division. The label announced the signing on 3 November 2026.
Magnetic Skies is a synthpop and darkwave project formed by vocalist and keyboardist Simon Kent and keyboardist Jo Womar, built around vintage analogue textures and cinematic modern songwriting. The band released its latest album, “Fragments”, in November 2025 via ReprinT.
The band said: “We’ve always wanted to take Magnetic Skies beyond the UK and build a connection with audiences across Europe, so we’re really excited to be working with Davide and Over The Border Records. Germany is a particularly interesting territory for us, and with our third album coming in November 2027, it feels like the right time to start making those connections. We’re looking forward to working together, playing some great shows and introducing Magnetic Skies to new audiences.”
Davide Pulito, CEO of Over The Border Records, added: “I’m excited to announce the signing of Magnetic Skies. I loved their sound from the very first moment so I can’t wait to book gigs for the next album promotion. Welcome on board guys!”
Magnetic Skies’ next confirmed date is 3 December 2026 at The Grace in London.
