Provoker
Bay Area darkwave with a slick, sinister R&B undertow — goth music you can actually move to, horror-movie romance included.
Provoker are a band from the San Francisco Bay Area whose music sits between darkwave, post-punk and slow-moving R&B. The arrangements favour synthesizers, reverbed guitar and prominent basslines, with vocals delivered in a low croon over mid-tempo grooves. Their records and videos have leaned on horror and noir imagery, and the group has released music through Year0001.
