Sinister Swing is the third studio album by South African recording artist Ashton Nyte, frontman for the Gothic rock band The Awakening.

Described as "organic electronic / experimental"[1] music, the album received critical acclaim for the hybrid of pre-80's electro and the "icy echoes of isolation...and just a hint of swing."

Includes South African radio hits "Distance," "Fingertips" and "Real."

The album was also later performed with the University of Pretoria's theatre department as a cabaret piece.
