SHE PAST AWAY is a dark wave / post-punk duo, consisting of Volkan Caner (vocals, guitars, and songwriting) and Doruk Ozturkcan (drums, synths, and production). By experimenting with the old/new aesthetic of synth music within their core guitar sound, She Past Away has forged a unique sound, attitude, and sensibility, conveyed through minimalist poetry sung in Turkish, which takes the audience on a dense, continuous epic journey in both their recordings and live performances. She Past Away released their critically acclaimed first EP “Kasvetli Kutlama” via Remoov in April 2009. Following the digital release of their debut album “Belirdi Gece” in February 2012, the band was signed to Fabrika Records in 2013 and shortly thereafter released “Belirdi Gece” in LP format. Including tracks like “Rituel,” “Ruh,” and “Kasvetli Kutlama,” the album was listed as one of the best albums of the decade 2010-2019 by post-punk.com. With the release of their follow-up album “Narin Yalnızlık” in May 2015, the duo established themselves as one of the most influential and successful genre-defining acts in dark wave music, scoring numerous crowd-pulling performances around the world. In December 2018, the band signed with Metropolis Records and reissued both albums in North America. The band delighted audiences with a beautifully dark and driving new album “Disko Anksiyete” via Metropolis Records and Fabrika Records in May 2019. In May 2020, the band celebrated their tenth anniversary with the remix album “X,” featuring remixes from Boy Harsher, The Soft Moon, Clan of Xymox, Front 242, Lebanon Hanover, and many more. In October 2020, the first-ever live studio recording of the band was released under the title “Part Time Punks Session.” SHE PAST AWAY is a driving, mesmerizing outburst of sentimental anxiety through a nihilistic mindset. It is both personal and broad, like a wandering mind brave enough to question taboos and existence.
Support: TOUCH BY TOUCH. TOUCH BY TOUCH is driven by their love for all things 80s, combining influences from synthpop and italodisco to coldwave, darkwave, EBM, and post-punk. Only classic 80s and 90s equipment is used during the production process of the songs, with no computers and of course no AI. The lyrics are multilingual (English, German, Hungarian), and the instrumentation is predominantly synthesizers, with some songs featuring electric guitar and bass. The debut album “Power Dynamics” will be released in late 2025 via Kernkrach Records.
