Out of the Dark

Ikon

A collection of shadowy demos and polished darkwave tracks. Melodic bass lines and baritone vocals drift through a haze of tape hiss and midnight atmosphere.

January 8, 2011 · Not On Label (Ikon (4) Self-released)

Find on Amazon

A deeply private, nocturnal melancholy that feels both cold and strangely comforting.

Moments Worth Listening For
The stark contrast of the home demo version of As Time Goes By where the tape hiss creates a ghostly veil over the melody.
The hypnotic and driving bass line on We Walk Alone that carries the track through its minimalist electronic pulse.
The heavy emotional weight of the nearly six-minute Tomorrow I Think I'll Die with its slow-burning vocal delivery.
