SEA OF SIN – “SHINE A LIGHT”
INDEPENDENT
SEA OF SIN are a German New Wave Pop Band that was originally founded in the 1990s and reached considerable success in international Synthpop scene through their debut album “Watch Out!” and the “Illuminate EP” that had been produced by Heiko Maile, member of German Synthpop pioneers CAMOUFLAGE.
After a long break SEA OF SIN caused a stir in 2018 with their long awaited comeback album “FUTURE PULSE” with various top 10 positions in the Deutsche Alternative Charts (DAC). Whilst this comeback album mostly consisted of re‐edits of older songs, SEA OF SIN 2019 started with completely new songs and a fantastic compilation of their best remixes in 2018 / 2019. And the wait was worth it.
The first album with new Songs after the break called “UNBROKEN” has been released April 2019 and showed the two founding members Frank Zwicker (vocals & words) and Klaus Schill (synths, guitars & production) musically more mature than ever. The songs on “UNBROKEN” had all the classic SEA OF SIN ingredients: high‐quality Synth driven Indie Pop with a penchant for melancholy and strong, catchy melodies that get stuck in the head and heart. Stylistically the spectrum ranges from mid‐tempo numbers with influences from classic 90s electropop to energetic songs that contain elements from Indie bands such as New Order or Editors. The distinctive and unmistakable voice of Frank and the sophisticated production handwriting of Klaus always ensure the special SEA OF SIN touch.
In week 18 in 2019 “UNBROKEN” entered the Deutsche Alternative Charts (DAC) album top 10 as the highest new entry at number 3 and was able to stay there for a total of eight weeks ‐ as highest position the album could even climb up to number 2, ahead of internationally successful acts such as Chemical Brothers, Iggy Pop, Gorillaz or Schiller.
On November 29th 2019, SEA OF SIN released “THE REMIXES”, an ingenious compilation of their best remixes from 2018/2019 with a total of 15 tracks and peppered with the fabulous work of internationally successful remixers such as Mesh (UK), Blume (ITA) and The New Division (US) amongst others. “THE REMIXES “also included a completely new song, the previously unreleased “Only The Memory Remains”.
The year 2020 in a nutshell: all plans to focus on playing live this year had been crashed by the worldwide pandemic. But Frank and Klaus did not loose their spirit in Music, but released more Music than ever before. The Singles “Unspoken Words”, “Floating Away”, “Turn Back Time” and “Immaculate” were all released accompanied by great Remixes of artists such as Mesh (UK), Nite (US), Man Without Country (UK), Covered in Snow (SWE) and many more.
All these great collaborations of 2020 have been released as remix compilation “The Remixes II” on March 19th 2021 which climbed on No.1 of Deutsche Alternative Charts (DAC) – a great success and well deserved reward for all the efforts. Big shoutout to all Remixers & Artists involved!
But the band’s highlight in 2021 surely was the opportunity to produce a Remix for iconic British artist ANNE CLARK for her song “SOMETIMES” which has been featured on her album “SYNAESTHESIA – CLASSICS REWORKED” – alongside with Remixes by great artists and producers such as Solomun, Blank&Jones and Marc Romboy. Moreover the Remix had been picked as first Digital Single release prior to the album release including a lyric video. A great honor for SEA OF SIN.
Sea Of Sin have recently released a string of singles throughout most of 2022. The latest addition to the list comes with the track “Shine A Light”. Below is the visualizer video for the new single – a song with a rather catchy chorus and uplifting vibe: “…there might shine a light leading out of the dark….”.
“We hope this helps a little to get everybody through their darker times and challenges of these days.” ~Sea Of Sin
