Barcelona duo Villanelle release video for debut single ‘Infrarosso’
Barcelona dark synth duo Villanelle release the video for debut single “Infrarosso”, via Carmilla Sioux’s label From Hell To Disco.
Barcelona dark synth duo Villanelle released the official video for debut single “Infrarosso” on 24 September 2026. The track came out digitally on 10 September through From Hell To Disco, the Barcelona label and event platform run by the duo’s Carmilla Sioux. Villanelle pairs Sioux, a bassist turned electronic producer, with vocalist and lyricist Jessica Bellomo.
“Infrarosso” is Villanelle’s debut release. Bellomo, an Italo-Argentine interdisciplinary artist who works across dark disco, electro, breakbeat, EBM, techno and trance, wrote the Italian-language lyrics and layered the synthesizers. Sioux, who moved from playing bass in the post-punk scene into DJing and production, built the track from its bassline outward. The song blends EBM and electro rhythms with melody-driven songwriting that draws on 1980s Italo disco, in a sound comparable to Pet Shop Boys, Ladytron and Boy Harsher.
