Darren Sylvester is an accomplished Melbourne visual artist and photographer turning his efforts to brilliant 80's inspired synth pop. He draws much inspiration from New Order, but there is much to be found in his self titled debut album such as the heartbraking wall of sound tribute found in the song 'Phil Spector'.
