Kraków Loves Adana - 'Darker Darkness'

---

Hamburg based duo Kraków Loves Adana intimately explore abuse of power on gloomy and compelling darkwave single, ‘Darker Darkness’.

There is much to be said about an outfit who can orchestrate the most turbulent storms of emotion inside their listener, and that’s exactly what Kraków Loves Adana achieve with startling consistency. ‘Darker Darkness’ is the duo’s most recent hit of dark euphoria, taken from their new ten-track album, ‘Darkest Dreams’. The track is a vivid assault of eerie and otherworldly dark wave meets dream pop sounds, seeing surreal and tumultuous synth tones and fuzzy guitar work set a backdrop to the bleak emotion of singer Deniz Cicek’s intoxicating and deeply affecting contralto.

While Kraków Loves Adana are triumphant in creating unique soundscapes that niggle at your nervous system, blurring the line between dreams and reality. The duo keep their listener grounded and engaged through their honest and intimate storytelling, displaying emotional intelligence and haunting intuition in equal measure and ‘Darker Darkness’ is no exception as Cicek explains,

“This song is for everyone who ever fell victim to someone abusing their power, be it physically, emotionally or otherwise. It is a song for those whose empathy, good will & introversion has been taken advantage of & been mistaken for weakness too many times. People forget that if you want to live an authentic life, pain and suffering is inevitable. There lies great power within feeling deeply & having the courage to embrace your own darkness.“

Darker Darkness is taken from the duo’s fifth studio album, ‘Darkest Dreams’ which tackles the concept of “exploring and embracing your own darkness and giving in to your darkest fantasies and desires - even if it means to lose yourself in the process”. Indeed, it is a captivating record, crystal clear in its intention to leave you feeling something. Anything. Everything. Melancholia never sounded so good.
