"D4RKSTAR is a one-person music project led by Andreas Lindh, based in Gothenburg, Sweden. It blends shoegaze, post-punk, darkwave, and electronic genres, characterized by heavy reverb, distorted guitars, bright synths, and hypnotic rhythms. The music evokes a mix of desperation, melancholy, and hope, with influences from bands like The Cure, Joy Division, Jesus and Mary Chain, and modern acts like I Break Horses."
"Gothenburg-based Dark Electronic /Shoegaze musician, singer and composer Andreas Lind returns under his moniker D4RKSTAR with the Official Video, directed by Andreas Häggström, for “Friendly Fire” taken from last July’s double A-side single “End of Days / Friendly Fire” mixed and produced by Stefan Eriksson (Brotherhood, Sister Electra, Fenix, etc). Wrapped in a deeply emotional somber aura, “Friendly Fire” layers hypnotic, plodding drum beats, rippling buzzing low-end, elongated glowing synth drifts and twinkly stacking wistful chords, to resound with distorted stirring poignancy alongside nostalgic heartfelt vocal agony, begging a loved one to take it easy for a while, lest his fragile heart breaks."
