MAYBERIAN SANSKULOTTS

Mayberian Sanskülotts are based in Budapest, Hungary. The dream pop band that successfully merges the rigid romanticism of '80s new wave bands like The Cure, the slow-burning grandiosity of Slowdive-esque shoegaze and the dreaminess and melodic sensibilities of contemporary acts like Beach House. Singer Zita Csordás brings an ethereal, powerful presence to the mix that simultaneously evokes Elizabeth Fraser of the Cocteau Twins and the haunting melodies of Hungarian folk music. Despite these influences, their music is very much their own, always meandering between the deeply personal and the spiritual. The band released their album Neverending Sorry in February 2019, published by a legendary Hungarian label. This kicked off an exciting year of shows around Europe: they received an invitation to the Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona, performed at the Waves Vienna showcase festival in Austria, supported the Courtney Barnett show in Budapest and made the rounds of Hungary's most important festivals including Sziget in Budapest. A tour of Germany and the Czech Republic followed. Meanwhile, a change came to the drum section when Justin Spike, an American musician living in Budapest, took over from István Hromkó. His drumming is featured on the band's new double album recorded for its 10 year anniversary.
