Ships In The Night
Alethea Leventhal’s US ethereal darkwave/dream-pop project Ships In The Night has issued a new video for “Blood Harmony” to mark All Hallows’ Eve. The song opens the third full-length “Protection Spells,” released May 2, 2025 (digital) and May 9, 2025 (CD) via Metropolis Records.
Leventhal describes the clip like this: “This video is about coming together to keep each other safe… leaning on one another, soft strength and taking back our power.” The video portrays a coven assembling in the woods to light a fire and cast a protective spell.
Below is the full album “Protection Spells“.
