Azraq Sàhara formed in Athens, Greece, in 2013 as the personal project of singer and songwriter Sara D. Satàn. Her first home recordings and early live performances were a lo-fi amalgam of beach pop and surf melodies. Following a year of writing and experimenting with fellow artists in the Athenian psych scene, the band emerged in 2015 with their 11 track, debut album, 'Radamenes', via Athens based TBMR Records. The album is a continuation of the band's early sound, but dives deeper into their Mediterranean origins, to take you on a journey from the Sahara Desert to the Californian coast. Single 'Bones' has been described on Soundinjections.net as "goth veiled beach pop that shines its darkness through hazy sunbeams". When asked to describe their own music they call it ‘Desert Goth’, “its surf guitars and jungle drums mixed with Mediterranean influences, from folk and Eastern melodies to sea sounds and desert winds.” Now based in Manchester, UK, and with a newly settled line-up, Azraq Sàhara are bringing their self-styled "Desert Goth" to British audiences.
