DRAWSTRING

DRAWSTRING

DRAWSTRING is a collaborative duo formed in 2024 by SOMBRA and BLACKUR0, two active solo artists based in Japan. SOMBRA, a musician and producer originally from Canada, blends influences from 90s alternative grunge & industrial with underground house and trip-hop. The resulting music is introspective and claustrophobic, yet diverse and colourful, with his signature dynamic performances resonating with audiences in Tokyo's music scene and beyond. Solo singer-songwriter and music creator BLACKUR0 is known for her genre-spanning approach and impressive track record as a composer. The compositions feature intricate song structures, soaring choruses, and rich analog synthesizer layers, all underscored by her signature catchy yet melancholic melodies. The two share a distorted sound and a dark, aggressively moody style of expression, combining to craft a cyberpunk-esque dystopia that channels negative emotion into powerful, transformative energy.
