Promenade Cinema invokes 'danceable darkwave' with memorable hooks and opulent melodies, striking a perfect balance between brooding synthwave, euphoric electro-pop and emotional synthetic orchestration.

They’re watching.
They’re talking.
There’s chatter in the back, and you know.
Your patience is low.
It’s louder.
It’s closer.
You’re looking to escape even though.
There’s nowhere to go.
So you just close your eyes and fall inside again.
The morning news proclaim you’ve lost your mind again, again.
The intermission rolls in, and you know you just can’t win.
When the critics arise, with a glint in their eyes, it’s wearing thin.
The intermission rolls in, and you know you're caving in.
Reputation aside, your achievements denied, it begins.
All you hear are violins.
Applauding.
They’re leaving.
Disappointment in the air, and you know.
Momentum is slow.
The papers,
Are printing.
The headlines in the morning will show -
‘It’s nothing nouveau’
[Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha]
So you just close your eyes.
So you just close your eyes and fall inside again.
The morning news proclaim you’ve lost your mind again, again.
The intermission rolls in, and you know you just can’t win.
When the critics arise, with a glint in their eyes, it’s wearing thin.
The intermission rolls in, and you know you're caving in.
Reputation aside, your achievements denied, it begins.
[All you hear].
The intermission rolls in, and you know you just can’t win.
When the critics arise, with a glint in their eyes, it’s wearing thin.
The intermission rolls in, and you know you're caving in.
Reputation aside, your achievements denied, it begins.
All you hear are violins.
Just violins.
Just violins.
Violins.

Bandcamp is my favorite app. Without Bandcamp I would missed out on a lot of great music like Empathy Test! A wonderful album. Occasionally bombastic with nice synths and the voice of Isaac Howlett on top. Well done guys💪🏽 Fredschuit

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days.
Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
On their 10th record, the Glasgow-based group serves up more wonderfully menacing, gothy synthpop, perfect for dungeon dancing. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 19, 2023
A pair of beautifully ghostly songs from this Philly group that set haunting and mysterious melodies amidst drifting rivers of electronics. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 25, 2022
