Aux Animaux – Body Horror

The darkest of waves, from Stockholm.

aux animaux is a darkwave artist based in Stockholm, Sweden. Her songs draw inspiration from the 80s dark wave and goth bands, as well as occultism and horror movies.

aux animaux was born and raised in Istanbul. She is a self-taught musician that worked as a professional bass guitarist for several years up until moving to Sweden almost 14 years ago. With aux animaux, on stage she sings as well as alternating between theremin and bass guitar. The theremin, which she considers to be her source of sorcery, is the only instrument that is played without actually touching.

aux animaux released her first songs in 2017. She has been touring both in Sweden and rest of Europe, opening for artist, such as She Past Away, Hante., Then Comes Silence among others. Her debut EP ”Black Holes” had more politically loaded songs that were about animal rights, feminism, criticising the society, whereas the sophomore EP ”Stockholm Synthrome” combines this approach with a more personal one, among others narrating her decade long struggle with misophonia. In the fall of 2021 she released her single ”Haunted” that she co-produced with the Swedish dark wave band abu nein. In spring of 2022, she released her EP ”The Hydesville Episode”, which she produced and mixed entirely on her own that’s more experimental than her previous work reminding of horror movie soundtracks. In December 2022, aux animaux released ”Hauntology” consisting of 4 original songs and 4 remixes of these made by Tobias Bernstrup, Priest, Majestoluxe and the artist herself. In April 2023, she released her single Lost Souls dedicated to all animals living in captivity.
