Bio

Named after an Edvard Munch painting (and not after that famous song by a famous Dunedin band that you shouldn't ask them about) Death and the Maiden are a Dunedin-based three piece who write slacker electronica: ethereal pop with a garage shtick.

Based upon hypnotic, gliding synth loops which sound something like an early Grimes, Beach House and Cocteau Twins love-child tripping on British danceclub ecstasy, King's sweetened vocals lull the listener while Robertson's Focus Group-styled guitar leads keep things on edge.

It is a chic, sensual, and melodic electro that's propulsive enough to dance to, but works for nocturnal bedtime listening too.

With only a handful of roughly mixed tracks available on the internet so far, the band hopes to have an album or EP of finished material in the not to distant future.
