Synapsyche drops ‘Muteness’ EP as part 2 of Miscommunication trilogy – Out now
Synapsyche
Italian dark electro duo Synapsyche has released its latest EP “Muteness”, the second installment in a conceptual trilogy exploring themes of miscommunication. The digital EP – out first via Bandcamp – follows 2024’s “Deafness” and continues the band’s exploration of modern anxieties around truth, repression, and social silence.
Out now “Muteness” includes two new original tracks that confront the fear of self-expression, or as the band puts it: “Silence is complicity, it’sabout those who never speak up, afraid to lose acceptance. But in the end, hiding means surrender.””. In addition to the title track, the EP features two reinterpretations: a dark-pop rework of Fleetwood Mac’s “Little Lies,” and a remix of “Anti Manifesto” by Statik Sekt.
Here is the previous 3-track single, “Deafness”.
About Synapsyche
Synapsyche is an Italian dark electro and industrial duo formed in Milan in 2014 by Stefano “Mannequinetik” Puri (vocals, lyrics) and Marco Mantovani (keyboards, programming). The band initially self-released early works like “Crashdown Connected” before signing to the SkyQode label, which issued their second full-length album “The Abyss Effect” in 2016.
Synapsyche’s music blends harsh EBM rhythms and melodic synth lines.
Their discography includes the albums “The Abyss Effect” (2016), “In Praise of Folly” (2018), and the “Miscommunication” EP series which began with “Deafness” in 2024 and continues with 2025’s “Muteness.” The trilogy is expected to conclude with a third installment currently in production.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
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.
