Clan of Xymox )blend an eclectic and vibrant mix of electronic pop, gothic rock, and acoustic folk into the perfect elixir of life for any wilting and forlorn soul. Hailing from the Netherlands, Xymox was established in 1983 by main ingredient and then-livein Anke Wolbert. Their first EP, Subsequent Pleasures added Pieter Nootenon keyboards and left a mark on an emerging Euro-wave market. A chance meeting with Brendan Perryand Lisa Gerrardof Dead Can Danceled to an invitation to support that band on a UK tour, and then a recording contract with their record label, 4AD. Their first two full length albums, self-titled Clan of Xymox and Medusa, comfortably settled Xymox into their own niche of blooming melodics and smooth grey lyrical originality, with Ronnie's songwriting coming as a fresh and very welcome abstract to the plastic and packaged synthpop of the late 80s.
