Project Retouch is an eclectic mixture of darkwave electronica and neo-folk with a touch of alternative poprock occasionally thrown in.
Project Retouch is a collaboration project between childhood friends Mikko Merilïinen and Matti Paalanen.
Formed in the fall of 2006 the idea of the project was initially to create remakes of various classic tunes with a distinct and personal style. However, Project Retouch quickly started producing original material.
