CIEL
Indie-rock project CIEL formed after songwriter Michelle Hindriks relocated from the Netherlands to Brighton, bringing along a collection of songs that served as the foundation of the band’s distinctive sound. CIEL's music possesses a fresh, dark, and hauntingly beautiful quality. Combining elements of fuzzy indie rock, goth, and shoegaze, the band's broody and gritty sound is elevated by Hindriks’ soft, icy, but emotive melodies. In 2022 the band achieved strong radio success with "Baby Don't You Know" hitting A-list on BBC 6 Music in the UK, along with support on BBC Radio 1, KEXP, NPO Radio 2, 3FM and Radio RSTLSS, amongst others. Building further on this momentum, the band released two compelling new EP’s of material in 2023, whilst touring extensively in the UK and Europe.
