Mysterious Sydney‘s dark and cold ‘diasterwave’ craftsman under the Disaster moniker provides a grey, gloomy and deeply emotive grip on Factory-doused post-punk.
The new and third single of the year, “Poem for the Night Sky,” captures the most hopeless of all headspaces during the depression: the moment when a person feels as if there is nothing left to live or die for.
Clipped, hypnotic drum machine loops ruthlessly lash a high-pitched, evocative sad-melody-carrying bass line, icily pierced by sinister spectral guitar reverberations, meandering with achingly poignant melancholy along profoundly haunted vocals, wistfully brooding while slipping from frailty to despair, on the edge of giving up.
