Hailing from Sacramento, California, Julian Sharwarko’s love of music began at the tender age of 8, with parents who influenced his early music tastes by playing the music of Siouxsie and The Banshees, The Birthday Party, Iggy Pop, Depeche Mode and Bauhaus.
David Lynch’s work also made a profound impact on his style, specifically the short film The Grandmother. Following the release of the dreamy and bewitching darkwave debut single “Mirror Twin”, Harsh Symmetry released his debut album in late 2022 on Fabrika Records, home of Selofan, Lebanon Hanover, and She Past Away, whose own Doruk Öztürkcan mixed and mastered the LP.
With a vocal style reminiscent of Cocteau Twins collaborator Cinder (This Mortal Coil, Cindytalk), and Ian McCulloch of Echo & The Bunnymen, Julian Sharwarko is the epitome of old-school and post-punk and goth, capturing a vision that perfectly matches his sound, while physically resembling his music forebears to the point where he looks like he just stepped out of a copy of Smash Hits circa 1983.
Released Early June 2023 by Fabrika Records.
