Cymbaline

Cymbaline is a Frankfurt-based indie electronic trio known for crafting nostalgic synth-pop with a modern twist. Formed in the mid-2010s by Alexander Friberg, Jannik Braun, and Markus Möhler, the band blends shimmering analog synths, hazy vocals, and live instrumentation to create their signature "retro-futuristic" sound. Their recent releases like *Gegenwelt* and *Shine A Light* showcase their knack for moody dancefloor grooves and introspective lyrics, while tracks such as *Computerleven* and *Club Odyssey* highlight their playful experimentation with 80s-inspired electronic textures. With a DIY ethos and frequent live performances (including their *Live Session* recordings), they’ve built a cult following in Germany’s indie scene, often described as a bridge between basement DIY energy and polished synth-wave nostalgia.
