Guyer's Connection were a duo from Switzerland that might have gone unnoticed had it not been for a recent reissue from Brooklyn label Minimal Wave. Tibor Csébits and Phillippe Alioth were only teenagers when they created "Portrait", a cult classic of the Swiss minimal-wave and synth-pop genre. The sound is cold and the lo-fi synths bring to mind the classic tones of Oppenheimer Analysis; Guyer's Connection were without a doubt an influence on modern cold-wavers Xeno & Oaklander. Csébits provides a moody vocal presence that gives a slight post-punk flavor to the minimal but mesmerizing synth landscape.
