Isol / Zypce - Sima

CD Digipak with 16 page booklet featuring the artist's illustrations.

Darla Records is proud to present the debut from Argentinian singer/songwriter/illustrator Isol and her brother Zypce.  Isol is a singer, composer, ex-vocalist of the electronic pop band Entre Ríos who released three records on Elefant and Darla, singer with the baroque group The Excuse and member of the synthpop American band Alsace Lorraine.  She’s also an internationally renowned illustrator of books and printed media.  For the first time here on Sima, she composes melodies and lyrics.  Zypce is a musician and composer.  In 1994 he released his CD Nuevo Muerto (New Dead. on which he and his ensemble play his own works of contemporary classical music tainted with industrial reminiscences, although these are very dubious labels.  He has also composed music for film, dance and theatre in Argentina and abroad and has performed his experimental compositions with pianist Adriana de los Santos, among others, in concert.  He builds his own musical instruments and has an extremely elaborate approach to the stage.  On Sima he composes and arranges songs,   clearly faithful to his peculiar aesthetics as he works within the pop song format, always with very experimental results.  Isol and Zypce are siblings, born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
