Espectrostatic

Espectrostatic is the solo synthwave project of Alex Cuervo, a musician also known for his work in the horror-inspired electronic act Umberto. Blending retro-futuristic synthscapes with eerie, cinematic flair, Espectrostatic crafts instrumental music that feels like a lost ’70s/'80s horror/sci-fi soundtrack. Releases like *Escape from Witchtropolis* and *Silhouette* lean into pulpy, VHS-era aesthetics, layering haunting melodies, analog arpeggios, and dusty drum machines to evoke fog-drenched graveyards or neon-lit dystopias. While details about Cuervo’s personal life are scarce, his work under the Espectrostatic alias has become a cult favorite among fans of dark synth and experimental electronic music, offering a nostalgic yet fresh take on the genre.
