Darkwave duo Vox Umbra released “Afterglow,” a two-song maxi-single paired with “The Train,” on June 5, 2026 as a digital release through Bandcamp.
Here’s the video for “Afterglow”.
The duo says that “Afterglow” / “The Train” “is a cohesive two-song statement about how people carry each other through uncertain times.”
The duo describes “Afterglow” as “a sweeping and urgent meditation on disillusionment, loyalty and perseverance in a world where direction grows uncertain,” citing the lyric “I loved you before the damage, I’ll love you through the break.” They describe “The Train” as “reflective, restrained and quietly devastating,” built around the lyric “Maybe this time I have done enough.”
About Vox Umbra
Vox Umbra is a darkwave duo formed in 2025 as a transcontinental collaboration. Tiffany, based in Seattle, composes the music; Florian, based in northern France, provides vocals. The two work across the geographic distance to produce what they describe as a fusion of introspective, melancholic rhythms with dark, cinematic arrangements.
The project’s first releases reached listeners through video premieres. Vox Umbra premiered the debut single “Cold Heart” as a video in October 2025, then premiered the video for “On the right” in November 2025 ahead of the duo’s debut EP, “Unchained.” The two-song maxi-single “Afterglow” / “The Train,” released June 5, 2026, follows that debut EP.
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. Besides music I’m also an SEO and AI content flow specialist and have an interest in everything finance from stocks to crypto. There is music in everything!
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.
