A Projection
Driving, noir-tinted post-punk with shimmering guitars and deep baritone vocals. It is the sound of a midnight walk through a rain-slicked Stockholm street.

A Projection is a Stockholm-based post-punk and gothic rock outfit formed in 2013, representing a modern resurgence of the 'dark' sound within the Swedish indie scene. Their sonic identity is heavily indebted to the 1980s post-punk canon, specifically the atmospheric gloom of The Chameleons and the rhythmic precision of New Order, yet they employ a contemporary hi-fi production style that aligns them with peers like Interpol and Editors.
The band's history is marked by a significant lineup change following their second album, 'Framework,' when original vocalist Isak Erikson departed. Bassist Rikard Tengvall stepped into the frontman role, a transition that maintained the band's baritone-led vocal identity while steering later releases like 'Section' and 'In a Different Light' toward a more integrated synth-rock sound. Culturally, they occupy a vital space in the European darkwave circuit, having moved from the Hamburg-based Tapete Records to the legendary Metropolis Records. Critical consensus highlights their ability to translate internal psychological tension into driving, danceable rock music, making them a staple for fans of the 'modern noir' aesthetic.
