From the depths of Mexico's escena oscura emerges Ernie.fr, a new voice within the global post-punk and darkwave revival. His sound exists between devotion and decay — not too synthetic, not entirely raw - where guitars drift through shadow and rhythm becomes reflection.
Rooted in the melancholy of England's late-1970s post-punk beginnings, the romanticism of Europe's 1980s coldwave, the austere minimalism of the Soviet underground, and the underground pulse of America, Ernie.fr brings a distinctly Latin dimension to the genre's evolution.
Influenced by Joy Division, Public Image Ltd, The Cure, and Siouxsie and the Banshees, as well as modern torchbearers like Mareux, Past Self, French Police, Lebanon Hanover, Twin Tribes, and Molchat Doma, his work channels the aesthetic of Gothic Romanticism - haunted guitars, spectral synths, and bilingual verses that blur intimacy with distance.
His debut EP, Nocturne Stereo, captures fleeting beauty across five tracks — "Vestido Negro," "Smoke & Mirrors,"
"Lose You to the Night," "City of Angels," and "Purple Haze." Lines like "Tu piel mi droga se volvió" and "I know I'll lose you to the night" echo through its reverb-heavy atmosphere, turning love into ritual and loss into design.
With Nocturne Stereo, Ernie.fr adds Mexico's voice to the ongoing story of post-punk and darkwave - a sound at once familiar and foreign, cinematic and human, where tenderness and ruin share the same silhouette.
