Nine Circles is an influential Dutch minimal wave duo formed in the early 1980s by Lidia "The Rose" Farkas and Per-Anders Kurenbach. Emerging from the European underground synth scene, their music blends haunting synthesizer melodies with stark, emotional vocals, creating a sound both intimate and coldly atmospheric. After a long hiatus, Nine Circles reemerged in the 2010s, gaining renewed recognition for their timeless, melancholic sound. Their work continues to resonate with fans of darkwave, post-punk, and electronic minimalism worldwide.
