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).

Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.

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.
