blankverse's debut EP, x | s is now available for download at https://blankversesg.bandcamp.com/

blankverse is a vessel of exploration through abstract beats and soundscapes inspired by experiences both poetic and prosaic.





Against a sanitized backdrop of fast food music, Syndicate was conceived over rounds of beers to reduce the growing impact of harmful beats and caveman frequencies in the accelerated world today. Along the way, it transmogrified into a serious idea to create a space for sonic expression and visual experience in post-efficient Singapore. What initially appeared as rounds of accidental & random recruitment exercise soon resulted in the formation of an audio-visual collective with names that are no strangers to the scene and some that are just strange.

Propelled by the inactivity in the electronic margins of the sunny island, Syndicate is here as a super-collective to fill a void. It is now set to tear apart music categorization and regurgitate something to call its own.

ANECHOIS is a post-progressive rock band. Drawing from elements of progressive, post-, and math-rock, the quintet has quickly gained a reputation since 2011 for their live shows that run the gamut of dynamics from spine-chilling stillness to back-breaking intensity.

From their appearance at Baybeats Festival 2012 to sold-out DIY affairs at BluJaz, an acoustic session for UK mod brand Ben Sherman to their upcoming residency at The Substation, ANECHOIS is a band that constantly seeks out new ways to hone their exceptional sound—a seamless blend of complex rhythmic structures and atmospheric effects that has been described as “ethereal”, “emotional” and “epic”.

ANECHOIS was named Best Band of 2012 by JUICE Singapore and received a VIMA nomination for Best Instrumental/World Song for ‘The Moon and the Sun’ off their debut EP.
