Night Sins is scheduled to release its latest offering A Silver Blade in the Shadow on May 17, 2024 via Born Losers Records. The lead single from the record is “The Lowest Places You’ll Go” and it has the hallmarks of modern darkwave with a strong rhythm and pulsing bass line all of which sound like they could be purely electronic but rather than embrace subpar production and tones, Night Sins sound like the kind of band that came out of the 1980s EBM underground but with more of an ear for pop sensibilities. There is something vulnerable and human about the music that sets it apart from a lot of current darkwave songwriting The expressive vocals don’t hide behind production and a wall of sound but are almost confrontational in being as forward as they are in the mix. The music video for the song showcases the band live on stage and presumably Kyle Kimball (who some may know as the former drummer for NOTHING) sitting at a table singing about the way you can walk your way into your own personal hell without even being fully aware that’s what you’re doing and come to romanticize the process. Implicit in the energy and momentum of the song is the will to break out of that self-destructive spiral.
