Greek dark electro/post-punk/dark pop duo Midnight Poetry unveils the first single and video, "Black Hole", out of the debut album, to be released later in 2024. Midnight Poetry is the new project of Cleopatra Kaido and John Spanos. A promising project with dark, electronic compositions with elements of melodic post-punk and also industrial pop, influenced by bands such as VNV Nation, Diary Of Dreams, New Order, Clan Of Xymox and newer artists.
Cleopatra Kaido has previously released two albums, Artificial Galaxy (2013) with Drama Queen (post-punk, goth, alternative) and System Amomaly (2020) with Meat Injection (synth wave, post-punk, dark electro, minimal). She performed in many live shows as well as collaborations with other musicians, and now she returns strongly where her worries turn into creativity and inspiration, with John Spanos by her side.
John Spanos has already released five personal albums and several releases in compilations from the goa/psychedelic trance scene, with Radical Distortion as well as his solo project as John Spanos under the sounds of ambient/chillout/future garage with many appearances at festivals and events abroad. John is adding his touch to this musical genre, having Cleopatra Kaido by his side.
"Black Hole" is Midnight Poetry's debut single and their introduction to the music world as a band. "Black Hole" creates a contrast between the electronic sound that goes into the lines of future pop along with cold, dark ambience, lyricism and strong vocals which are perfectly expressing what the song stands for. A track that seamlessly blends elements of electronic and dark pop music to create an eerie yet captivating atmosphere. The video was directed by John Spanos and it was shot and edited entirely on an iPhone 14 Pro.
Midnight Poetry about "Black Hole": "This song encapsulates the thoughts and emotions awakened in our memory after enduring a challenging situation from the past, which we relive in the present. This could stem from a separation, loss of a loved one, rejection, or other painful experiences. Such events are inescapable, compelling us to engage in a personal struggle to stay in control and avoid being consumed by the abyss that threatens our very being. The lyrics liken loneliness to a dead desert, where the soul, floating and dancing with a ghost, seeks to rediscover its essence."
Midnight Poetry is working on their new songs to get ready for their debut album, the release of which will be announced very soon. Link
