Ireland's darkwave act Owls has revealed the first single and video, "Give Me Your Stare", from its upcoming Death Games, set for release on 6 June via Negative Gain Productions.
"Give Me Your Stare" is a seduction: a desperate call for the gaze of someone whose love comes with a quiet promise of devastation. Layers of synths swirl around brooding basslines, conjuring a soundscape that feels both intimate and vast - a dance floor confession in the fog of emotional collapse. With echoes of goth romanticism and a subtle menace beneath its polish, Owls offers a dark anthem for lovers who know the cost of desire but can't help asking for more.
Owls' debut full-length, Death Games, is a haunting exploration of love, mortality, and the fragile nature of existence. Drawing on inspiration from the darker realms of postpunk, goth, and synth-based music, the album crafts an immersive world that resonates with themes of impermanence and the brutality of love. Owls delivers a compelling narrative of a courtship ending in death, and the tension between love and loss is palpable in every note.
Death Games is an album that captures the melancholy beauty of relationships destined to unravel. It is a journey bound to the shadow of death, ultimately reflecting the fragility of life itself. This is for the dark hearts, the lost loves, the ones looking towards the inevitable end that awaits. This is Death Games. Link
