Pinhdar – A Sparkle On The Dark Water (Album-Digital/CD/Vinyl – Fruits De Mer Records)
This Italian duo’s second album sounds like sweet, accessible Dream-Pop driven by elevating guitar play and sensual, female vocals. The voice sometimes reminds me a bit of the imaginary fusion between Elena Alice Fossi and Elizabeth Frazer. A dark and somewhat mysterious atmosphere covers the songs. This is a graceful production that is definitely worth discovering. (Rate:7).

About Pinhdar
Pinhdar is an Italian duo working in a Dream-Pop vein, built around guitar and female vocals. “A Sparkle On The Dark Water” is the project’s second album, released via Fruits De Mer Records on digital, CD and vinyl. No dedicated Side-Line tag or prior coverage exists yet for the act.
I have been working for over 30 years with Side-line as the main reviewer. My taste is eclectic, uncoventional and I prefer to look for the pearls, even if the bands are completely unknown, thus staying loyal to the Side-Line philosophy of nurturing new talents.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
