(Photo by Johan Lundsten) The new darkwave / shoegaze duo Terzo, which we covered already on Side-Line regarding their “Cymbeline” single, has just released its self-titled 6-track debut album. You can check out the full album below.

Behind Terzo we find Karl Clinton (former bassist in post-punk act Diskoteket, plus co-founder of improvisational project Tsantsa) and Billie Lindahl (lead singer and guitarist in dream pop/dark folk act Promise and the Monster). “Terzo was born out of a discussion about songs we mutually liked and a wish to try a different work process to our then current projects,” they state. “We wanted to do whatever we wanted without restrictions, using our obsession and gut feeling as guidance.”

Their debut album holds 6 tracks including the 10+ minute “Cymbeline” which is a cover of a 1991 song by the Celtic/world music singer-songwriter and composer Loreena McKennit. The song was recording during the band’s very first studio session. You can see the video for this track below. “Cymbeline” was released as their debut single in February 2023. The duo followed it up with the Cocteau Twin-ish “Eve Seven”.

(Photo by Johan Lundsten) Out now is the debut single from the darkwave/shoegaze/post-rock duo Terzo. The single is taken from their debut album which you can expect on April 21st.

“Cymbeline” is actually a unique cover of a 1991 song by the Celtic/world music singer-songwriter and composer Loreena McKennit, which has a lyric lifted from the William Shakespeare play of the same name. “We had a feeling that we could make something interesting with it,” says Lindahl. “Karl did most of the instrumental work, guitars and programming, while I recorded my vocal in one take. This song means so much to us because it was the first thing we did as a duo and I think we just sort of understood that we could do great things together.”

Terzo – referring to the Italian word ‘the third’ – consists of the duo Karl Clinton (former bassist in post-punk act Diskoteket, plus co-founder of improvisational project Tsantsa) and Billie Lindahl (lead singer and guitarist in dream pop/dark folk act Promise and the Monster).

“Terzo was born out of a discussion about songs we mutually liked and a wish to try a different work process to our then current projects; we wanted to do whatever we wanted without restrictions, using our obsession and gut feeling as guidance,” the band says.

Below is the official video for “Cymbeline”.
