░█▒ ▒█░
░█▒ The voice of Athan Maroulis will always be linked to the seminal ▒█░
░█▒ Los Angeles based trio Spahn Ranch, a band that pounded the Æ90s ▒█░
░█▒ Industrial scene with a daring mix of electro-flavored Synth Pop ▒█░
░█▒ fused with a menacing pall of atmospheric Goth. To this day, a ▒█░
░█▒ number of Spahn Ranch songs like ôVortexö and ôHereticÆs Forkö ▒█░
░█▒ still pack dark dance floors around the globe. In the aftermath ▒█░
░█▒ of Spahn Ranch, Athan returned to his native New York City where ▒█░
░█▒ he took a decade-long break from performing, and instead produced ▒█░
░█▒ countless reissues of 1930s and 1940s jazz and blues music while ▒█░
░█▒ working behind the scenes advising a number of varied Darkwave ▒█░
░█▒ bands. In those years, Athan occasionally appeared as a guest on ▒█░
░█▒ albums by Razed in Black and Black Tape for a Blue Girl. He ▒█░
░█▒ joined the latter officially in 2009, cutting an album while also ▒█░
░█▒ completing tours both here and abroad, highlighted by a packed ▒█░
░█▒ show at the Leipzig Opera House during the 2011 Wave-Gotik- ▒█░
░█▒ Treffen Festival. ▒█░
░█▒ ▒█░
░█▒ While on hiatus from Black Tape, Athan conceptualized NOIR as a ▒█░
░█▒ project where his Industrial and Gothic past would walk the wire ▒█░
░█▒ between retro and futuristic sounds, brought into a moody ▒█░
░█▒ electronic present by synth-laced hooks meshed with elements of ▒█░
░█▒ dance, dark ambient and touches of glitch-induced EBM. The result ▒█░
░█▒ is Darkly Near, an album influenced by an idealized black-and- ▒█░
░█▒ white perception of New York City, where yesteryearÆs views of ▒█░
░█▒ tomorrow are pressed against the machinery of today. Lyrically, ▒█░
░█▒ Darkly Near is an album of endings, a montage that travels ▒█░
░█▒ through a dreamy death trip of sensuality littered with faded ▒█░
░█▒ film stars, Rod Serling scripts, Weegee snapshots, con artists, ▒█░
░█▒ replicants, and the layered recollections of a solitary man ▒█░
░█▒ waiting for a train. ▒█░
░█▒ ▒█░
░█▒ Released on the heels of 2012s successful digital single "My ▒█░
░█▒ Dear" (that featured an exclusive Assemblage 23 remix), NOIRs ▒█░
░█▒ mature yet strikingly refreshing Darkly Near album will be ▒█░
░█▒ supported by a select string of exclusive live dates. ▒█░
