Darkwave acts Mortes and Balduvian Bears teamed up for a collaborative new single, "Scent (Escape You)", which is out now via darkTunes Music Group. Mortes and Balduvian Bears deliver a modern darkwave duet that breathes cold air down your neck.
Wrapped in ghostly melodies and slow-burning tension, the track captures the haunting feeling of being followed by memory, by guilt, by the one you tried to leave behind. Their voices echo through a fog of synth and silence, tracing the path of a love turned into a phantom presence. No matter how far you run, the scent of what once was still lingers... and it never stops chasing.
Let yourself drift into the darkness—"Scent (Escape You)" will find you there. Watch the video now. Link
