Karlův Týn is the cold-pop side-project of Russian gothic rock band GIANT WAVES. Inspired by ’80s pop music, Soviet Wave, apocalyptic folk lyrics, European Christian mysticism, and Russian poetry, the Karluv Tyn project started in 2017 taking their name from a famous large gothic castle founded 1348 by Charles IV, in order to emphasize the dark atmosphere of the songs and the west Slavic culture, along with the intention to provide Eastern block post-punk/coldwave music to a bigger European audience.
