Swedish dark dream pop/post-punk act Darkplace unveils first single: ‘Arken Över Hesselby’
“Arken Över Hesselby” is the debut single by the Swedish dark dream pop/post-punk act Darkplace. It’s the first track from their debut album out October 2023 via Icons Creating Evil Art.
The debut album will be a conceptual debut album inspired by the bleak landscape of the Stockholm suburbs that birthed them. The album will be unveiled gradually over the coming months via a series of imaginative visuals based on animated digital paintings for each of its eleven tracks, commencing with the first single “Arken Över Hesselby” (“The Ark Over Hesselby”).
Rooted in late 80s/early 90s indie styles, Darkplace incorporates a variety of other genres into their sound.
Here’s the video for the first single.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
