Darkswoon is an electronic shoegaze trio from the Northwest US. Elemental post-punk roots, atmospheric guitars and ethereal vocals border on dream pop, while layers of beats, haunting synth and melodically driven bass creates a unique flavor touching on old school goth with a modern edge. Their debut LP ‘Bind’ came out in 2019 on Icy Cold Records.
With “Bloom Decay” the band channels both the detached chill of early Fever Ray and Eurythmics as well as the churning menace of Modern English…both incredibly powerful and irresistibly catchy at once.
“The potent driving beat (smashed and wonderfully distorted), the clean and dirty textures of synths, the dominant bass with subtle slippery shapes and Jana Cushman’s vocal countenance, bruised and boldy passionate will put you in a dark headspace, ready to do combat. The blend of post punk artistry and heavy Goth pop adornments feel emotionally pushed and stirred with layers of industrial punk, post hardcore and shoegaze.” American Pancake
