Jakob Skøtt and Anna Cecilia who both live in Copenhagen, Denmark have been forging a unique path in music as Syntaks since 2006's "Awakes" on Benbecula Records.
In 2009 the duo released "Ylajali" on Ghostly International Records and by then Anna became more focused on doing her beautiful vocals and wordless soprano sighs.
Jakob started out with Jonas Munk as part of the band Limp (with one release in 2002 on Morr Music), as well as a fixed part in Manual's liveset and Golden Sun album on Darla Records.
Jakob is also the drummer in danish psych-kraut outfit Causa Sui, and 2011 has already seen collaborations in that direction with members of Tortoise and Sunburned Hand of the Man. Syntaks even did a piece for The Royal Danish ballet in 2010.
Syntaks take their influences from ambient electronic artists like Boards Of Canada, Brian Eno, Seefeel, film score artists like Ennio Morricone, John Carpenter, and the dreamy shoegaze sounds of the Cocteau Twins, M83, Slowdive, Ulrich Schnauss, and other early 90's shoegaze bands.
Syntaks now release their broadest ranging album to date on Parallax Sounds Records, "Nachtblende" album is now available to buy on CD and download.
