Welsh noir pop band The Nightmares have announced their debut album Séance, due for release on 7th April 2023 via Venn Records (UK/Europe) and Equal Vision Records (USA/RoW).
“Séance is a record born out of a shared love of the macabre… a longing to express the darker thoughts and deeper emotions of life. Channelled through the practise of attempted communication with spirits from beyond this world,” explains bassist Benjamin T. Mainwaring.
“We started to dip our toes into the world of the séance, and the experiences we went through would inform the writing of the record.
“I am totally convinced that what happened in these experiments were real. And they have stuck with me. I have nothing but respect for the spirits and I understand the gravity and weight that comes with communication with other worlds. It is not to be taken lightly.”
The Nightmares have also released a video for their new single Heartless.
“Life can feel relentless… like you’re constantly fighting against the tide. And after experiencing heartbreak, it’s easy to grow cold,” the band comments. “This can often be perceived by others as being heartless. However, the reality is it takes an awful lot to learn to trust again once that bond has been broken. Heartless is a song about learning to trust someone again.”
