DARKSWOON
Darkswoon brings light and shadow to new sonic territory with a collection of songs to be released in the Summer of 2016. It will be the sophomore release from Jana Cushman who has been writing music under this moniker for two years. Her previous release, Year One, is an EP of seven tracks that could be considered a cross between shoegaze and darkwave, generating a genre imagined by Cushman to be electrohaze. It’s a musical landscape cultivated by the interplay of dynamic guitar and vocals that reflect visceral emotional depth syncopated by stunning textures and driving rhythms. Death, love, dreams and ghosts are consistent lyrical themes that can be felt in the marrow of the music.
