Indie rock from Brighton 💛

With members originating from The Netherlands, Spain and the UK, indie-rock three piece CIEL came together in Brighton on the South Coast of England. Drawing influence from the creative baggage of three countries' scenes - whilst not really feeling like they belong to any of them - CIEL’s music has a nagging yet fresh, dark and sometimes quietly glorious quality to it. Combining their love of fuzzy indie rock, goth and shoegaze, the band’s broody and gritty music is tempered by the soft, icy, but emotive melodies of singer Michelle Hindriks.

Latest single "Back To The Feeling" is propelled by fast-paced krautrock rhythms, a gently mysterious vocal and aggressive post punk guitars, before launching itself into a spooky instrumental ending which could be sampled from an 80s horror film. Atmospheric and moody yet simultanously energetic and driving.
