Kay, who has been struggling for some time to cope with the daily madness in the world, had written a poem. Her inspiration was a very popular fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen. 

The original song went down very well by the listeners, fans and international music experts and stayed for weeks in the Top 10 of Klangwald Charts and GEWC.

IAMTHESHADOW

IAMTHESHADOW is back with a new amazing single in "Bending Time" and this is one of my favourite tracks from last weeks New Synthmusic Friday, the hype between haunting darkwave and post punk comes like slap on your mouth, a "käftsmäll" as we say in Sweden, banger deluxe. The sad part of is that the track is to short, I could easy listening to it a couple of minutes more, so what to do? well, repeat it. 

"Bending Time" is OUT NOW through Cold Transmission. 

IAMTHESHADOW is a musical project that began in 2015 by the Portuguese musician Pedro Code (The Dream Collision and Rainy Days Factory). The artistic influences of IAMTHESHADOW are varied and navigate the blackest and sharpest sounds of the 80s. 

IAMTHESHADOW is modern dark romance, where melody and words touch deeply perpetuating the desire that crosses and overcomes fear. 

Pressrelease: 

“Bending Time” is a song about the feeling of watching time slip through our hands, trying to hold on to moments that are already fading, and learning to accept that nothing stays with us forever.

IAMTHESHADOW turn these intimate thoughts into a deeply powerful and melancholic reflection on life, loss, and the quiet beauty of letting go.

NACHTSCHLEIFE

Up next is new music from the label Echozone and their artist NACHTSCHLEIFE with their new single "Suizid" 

Nachtschleife is a studio project exploring dark electronic music between dark wave, minimal synth and melancholic electro. New singles appear regularly on Bandcamp. 

Pressrelease: 

With “Suizid” (Suicide), NACHTSCHLEIFE release one of the most personal and important songs from their upcoming album “Systemabfall.” This intense Dark Wave / Dark Electro track deals with mental health crises, despair and loneliness – and with a subject that is still too often left unspoken. Different personal struggles can lead a person to a point where they can no longer see a way out. “Suizid” does not try to offer simple answers but instead makes visible that moment of deepest despair. 

The message from NACHTSCHLEIFE is clear: Don’t look away. Listen. Check in with people. Take people seriously. Get help. The song is aimed equally at those affected and at the people around them. Sometimes a conversation, a message or simply deciding not to leave someone alone can be an important first step. Releasing the song in autumn is also a conscious choice, as loneliness, grief and mental health struggles can become particularly difficult during this time of year. 

Musically, NACHTSCHLEIFE combine Dark Wave, Dark Electro and Industrial into an intense soundscape of dense electronic textures, harsh and vulnerable moments, and an expressive vocal performance. As part of “Systemabfall”, “Suizid” also reflects the album’s broader theme: a society in which people are expected to keep functioning, even when they have reached their limits mentally. The song does not seek to romanticize the darkness, but to make it visible – and to remind us that help is available.
