Corlyx is a duo consisting of singer Caitlin Stokes and producer/bassist Brandon Ashley. Originally formed in Los Angeles before relocating to the UK, the project has evolved from an industrial-leaning dark electro outfit into a leading voice in the modern darkwave and post-punk revival.
Their sound identity is characterized by the 'death pop' aesthetic, which marries the gloomy, atmospheric textures of 80s goth with the high-production values of contemporary electronic music. The band's signing to Out Of Line Music marked a significant step in their career, aligning them with major European dark-alternative acts. Critically, they are noted for their ability to integrate grunge-inspired guitar work and pop-focused vocal hooks into a genre that can often be overly minimalist. Their discography shows a steady progression toward more complex arrangements and a more defined visual and sonic brand, positioning them as a bridge between the underground goth scene and broader alternative electronic audiences.
