Об исполнителе:
Founded in 2006 German-based synth-pop group THE SWEEPS shares a deep fascination for analog synthesizers, 70s string machines, the Fender Rhodes E-Piano and drumcomputers from the 80s. Original group members are Kristina Brodowski (vocals), Christoph `Dav´ Duwe (keyboards, programming, (backing) vocals) and Niels `Wes´ Wesner (keyboards, (backing) vocals). Later on they were joined by vocalists Johanna Hanf (2011-2013) and Lena Götze (since 2014). After the sudden and unexpected death of their founding member and mastermind Christoph Duwe in February 2021, Stefan Bornhorst (aka The Silicon Scientist) became a new member in March 2021 (on keyboards & programming). The group has released 11 CDs so far - 10 studio albums (their latest one ARCADE OF DREAMS in December 2020) and a 2 CD-compilation in 2014 (all by self-distribution). Furthermore they put together 2 compilations THE WAY WE WERE & THE WAY WE WERE 2 (available digitally on all streaming and download platforms) in 2021. Other releases include 12"s (Flashback Records) and 7"s, compilations (ZYX/Nova) or digital remixes (Emerald & Doreen / Girlfriend Records / Retro Promenade). The band will release a new compilation MUSIC SURVIVES in late 2023 including some new tracks & previously unreleased material via Emerald & Doreen.
