Out now is a brand new song by darkwave songstress Caress aka Tara Jane from the Shoegaze/Post-Punk band Blood Candy. “Love” is also her debut single and was inspired by personal experiences ‘with emotional vulnerability and fragility’.

Musically she explains her sound like this: “I’ve always been really inspired by avant garde and 1980s dark wave, combining both of these styles with the combination of tragic lyrics and multiple synth layers I felt expressed the complications of betrayal elegantly but with lingering pain.”

Love was produced by Chris King of Cold Showers and is out now on Manimal Records. It can be heard below.

Why we ask

Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.
