Some desirable recordings – Poseurs album and London synth compilation

Take a look at the Desire records page to purchase our new album Poseurs, as well as And You Will Find Them in the Basement, a new compilation on grey vinyl documenting the new London synth scene, curated by the bands themselves.

Our song ‘Garçon dans le Vent’ rounds off the record, with a lush yet melancholy atmosphere that expresses the alienation any ‘scene’ by definition creates.

And You Will Find Them in the Basement

A Terrible Splendour play EXIT Festival

A Terrible Splendour are thrilled to announce our presence at the EXIT Festival this summer! On Sunday 15 June, we will take to the Elektrana stage to bring our brand of blackmail, glamour and cruelty to an international crowd in Serbia. Come and hear our synthesized sounds swirl around the majestic confines of Petrovaradin Fortress in Novi Sad.

Other acts at this epic 4-day festival include Duran Duran, Miss Kittin, Felix da Housecat and Guns’n'Roses, and the Elektrana stage showcases the best cutting-edge electronic music, including Franz + Shape and Detachments. A summer to remember…
