Detachments

Detachments are a London-based post-punk/electronic band known for their brooding synth-driven sound and moody, danceable rhythms. Formed in the late 2000s around frontman Bastien Marshal, the group blends icy vocals, visceral guitars, and pulsating electronic textures, drawing comparisons to acts like Joy Division and New Order. Their self-titled debut album (2011) and releases like *Circles* and *Holiday Romance* solidified their reputation for crafting darkly cinematic tracks that feel equally at home in underground clubs or late-night headphone sessions.

With a flair for remix culture, Detachments have expanded their repertoire through collaborations and reworks, as seen in releases like *Holiday Romance Remixes* and *The Flowers That Fell (Remixes)*. Their music often explores themes of alienation and urban decay, wrapped in a sleek, retro-futurist aesthetic. While maintaining a cult following, they’ve remained a staple of the UK’s indie-electronic scene, delivering gritty anthems that bridge raw post-punk energy with hypnotic electronic precision.
