Darrow are an Australian psychedelic synth duo consisting of father and daughter team Nick and Gabbie Darrow.
Darrow were formed following Nick and Gabbie Darrow’s escape from a restrictive anti-musical cult in the Byron Bay hinterlands. Nick Darrow had brought up his daughter Gabbie within a strict regime of enforced silence and a ban on any form of sonic stimulation. Gabbie came across a secret synthesizer which had been smuggled into the community by someone from her youth group. Every night she used it to expose her father to low-level triangle waves at a frequency slightly below the threshold of Alpha brain activity. Over many months Nick was progressively deprogrammed through the power of synthesis. One night during a lunar eclipse they escaped the cult together.
Continuing their exploration of synth-induced mental programming Nick and Gabbie relocated to Melbourne, maintaining their daily regime of triangle wave mind meditations to avoid relapse into unproductive mental states.
