It’s no surprise that someone with Daniel Myer’s discerning eye quickly recognized SIIE’s potential. Under the expert guidance of Cold Transmission Label—renowned for their exceptional artist curation and development—SIIE’s trajectory is set to rise. Suzy and Andreas Herrmann have built a roster that consistently elevates the darkwave and synthpop genres, and SIIE is an exemplary addition.
SIIE’s debut album, Acmé, scheduled for release in April 2025, is already making waves with its lead single, "Grand Virage." This darkwave electro gem weaves driving synths, haunting melodies, and evocative French vocals into an introspective yet danceable soundscape. Lyrically and sonically, the track explores the uncertainty and pivotal choices of life, resonating deeply with listeners. Its extended version amplifies the song’s hypnotic qualities, while Emmon’s remix introduces a minimalist, atmospheric layer, showcasing SIIE’s versatility and ability to navigate both light and shadow with finesse.
The energy in Acmé feels seismic, hitting with unrelenting force from the first beat. With peers like Minuit Machine and Potochkine setting high standards for French darkwave acts, SIIE confidently carves their own path. Their sound leans into melodic synthpop and rhythmic precision, offering a less emotionally charged but equally captivating experience.

SIIE will debut Acmé live at the highly anticipated Planet Myer Day in 2025, a performance that promises to further cement their growing reputation. Tracks like "Grand Virage" not only highlight their creative potential but also hint at their ability to connect with diverse audiences across genres.
With Acmé, SIIE boldly steps into the spotlight, delivering a sophisticated blend of darkwave and synthpop that feels both innovative and timeless. Keep an ear out for this release in April 2025—it’s an album that demands attention and rewards the listener with its layered, evocative artistry.
