Bio

Croatia does synth-seduction. Their music is dark, dreamy, powerful and dramatic – a tapestry of poetic imagery, vivid soundscapes and infectious rhythms that never loses its connection to simple pop virtues. Croatia’s songs are built with waves of neo-80s synths, pulsing arpeggiators, reverb-drenched guitar and massive electronic beats. The power of their music is only subdued by the serene vocals and candid lyrics of singer Tashiina Buswa.

Going to one of their shows is like falling down a dark and twisted rabbit hole into a dimly lit realm of fast and furious synth. If you can tear your eyes away from the queen herself, it’s only so you can fully commit to your dance moves. As for the rest of the team they’re just as captivating to watch as their ethereal music is to listen to.

Croatia’s only goal is to write songs that are more engaging, experimental, truthful, and cathartic as their previous work. As the themes in their music are universal – love, anxiety, optimism, spirituality, dreams, and parties – Croatia plans to share their recorded music and live performances with as many people as possible over the coming year.

Croatia’s debut LP will be released on August 13th, 2016. The album features 8 new songs and was produced by long-time friend, Adam Sutherland, at Infinity Studios in Victoria BC. Croatia is vocalist Tashiina Buswa, Steve Mitchell on synths and programing, Matt Dell on synths and guitars, and the best drummer they can find on any given night.
