Brooding, introverted and volatile are words which merely grasp at fitting SOMBRA’s music into a niche.
Hip-hop inspired electronic beats are fused with alt-rock sensibility; heavily distorted bass riffs, spiralling synth and guitar lines and melodic vocal lines combine to create dark, atmospheric, yet danceable music with themes centred around societal disconnection, alternate realities and the human psyche.
SOMBRA is based out of Montreal and led by producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Matthew Cataldo. Cataldo is the lead vocalist, guitarist and synth player with band members Kyle Jeffery Andrews (percussion, samplers, synths) and Daiana Bolini (bass, synth, backing vocals).
