Edinburgh, United Kingdom (1982 – present)
Cindytalk was formed in 1982, by Gordon Sharp (vocals) & David Clancy (guitar, keyboards), from the punk / new wave ashes of Edinburgh, UK’s The Freeze.
Current line-up: Gordon Sharp (vocals), Paul Middleton (drums), Gary Jeff (bass), Sherrill Crosby (laptop) & Daniel Knowler (guitars).
The Freeze (1976-1982) released two 7inch singles,recorded two John Peel sessions and played extensively around the UK supporting many big name bands of the time. After re-locating to London in 1982,Cindytalk began to work towards their debut album Camouflage Heart,with a newer,darker and more fractured sound that drew much from post-punk and early european industrial music.In 1983 Sharp and Clancy were joined by John Byrne who proved to be a crucial component in Cindytalk’s deliberately disintegrating sound.Also in 1983 Sharp recorded a John Peel session with fellow Scots Cocteau Twins which led to a meeting with 4ad supremo Ivo Watts-Russell who invited him to appear on This Mortal Coil’s 1983 debut EP “16 Days/Gathering Dust”.He was also one of 3 featured singers on the debut This Mortal Coil album “It’ll End In Tears” (1984), contributing vocals to Kangaroo (which was released as a single and became an instant indie hit), Fond Affections & A Single Wish. Simultaneous to that release,Camouflage Heart also appeared to some critical acclaim in the UK music press.

I just finished listening to In This World for the first time. This is some killer shit, which reminds me of some of the more obscure, yet amazing, early industrial artists. I hope Camouflage Heart is equally appealing.

There's an interesting one-page feature on Cindytalk in the September issue of The Wire, with a photo of Sharp as Cinder/Cindy.
