Search - Opium :: Too Many Miles Between Us

Opium is a synthpop band consisting of members in Israel and Russia, with musical, lyrical, and production contributions from both countries. The band has been around since the early 90's, but has never released an album until now, in 2004. Opium finds their musical roots in the synthpop and new wave of the 80's, but builds onto that foundation with the production sounds of today. The vocalist is passionate and talented, sounding like a classically trained version of Depeche Mode's Dave Gahan, and the songs are built around strong melodies and sensual lyricism. This album has been in the works for several years as the band has worked to translate Russian lyrics into English, polished their programing and recording techniques, and created an album that can leave a mark for many years to come.
