Arcane Allies are a Berlin/Cologne-based trio blending psychedelic rock, krautrock, ambient, doom, jazz and free improvisation into a hypnotic, cinematic sound. Driven by motorik grooves, shimmering synths, surf-inspired guitars and evolving textures, their music moves between meditative beauty and dark, crushing intensity.
Inspired by pioneers such as CAN, Neu! and Kraftwerk as well as minimalist composers Terry Riley and Steve Reich, the band creates immersive soundscapes that bridge analog rock energy and contemporary electronic production.
Founded in 2016 by Christiana and Sidney Jaffe and joined by Joel Jaffe in 2018, Arcane Allies have played more than 300 shows across 15 countries and released five independent LPs. Their 2026 album continues to expand this sonic universe, with tracks such as Aestesia exploring hypnotic repetition and shifting musical patterns. Beyond the music, Arcane Allies are a family project, combining creative life, touring and family life with their two children.
