S Y Z Y G Y X with Strange Futures and The New Dark Age at Zed Alley
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Seductive synthwave electro bounce wrapped in delectable darkwave shadows; this is a rather large live outing for No Alternative at their Zed Alley HQ. The deverdly-hyped Washington DC duo S Y Z Y G Y X are an electronic body must FFO: Adult, Boy Harsher, ULTRA SUNN, Sextile, Sixth June."

S Y Z Y G Y X
Bleak, post-apocalyptic soundscapes powered by electro pop biting synth lines and minor scale hooks fuel the sound of S Y Z Y G Y X, the moniker to the solo project of Luna Blanc, based in Washington, DC.

Luna is a solo producer but tours with Corey, her partner in crime, life, and stage. Throughout 2022 they have toured extensively through the USA, Canada, Middle America and Europe including the legendary Wave Gotik Treffen in Leipzig, Germany.

After also touring USA and Europe in 2023, followed by two new songs on the compliations by Rebeka Warrior and Cold Transmission’s Zeitgeist Chrome as well as a collaboration release with Nightcrawler in 2024, S Y Z Y G Y X took a creative break to focus on her new material that is planned for summer 2025.

FFO: Boy Harsher, NNHMN, Qual, Kontravoid
