Swedish goth rock act De Arma today dropped a new single, "Shame Drifter", taken from its upcoming EP Nightcall, due for release on 6 May via Silent Future Recordings.
"Shame Drifter" stands with one leg in familiar De Arma territory - filled to the brim with bittersweet, longing melodies swirling around the intricate vocal arrangements - and the other firmly on untrodden paths. It is what we imagine the orphaned child birthed by early Depeche Mode and Drab Majesty and then raised by Cause & Effect would end up sounding alike. Cold but driven synth-pop that could just as well have been narrated by the voice of a young Dave Gahan.
The band commented: "The strong influences we've drawn from the 80s truly shine through on this song. Another development that soon becomes apparent is that the foremost difference between this EP and Strayed In Shadows lies in the percussion. Instead of an acoustic drum kit, we've been experimenting with some old-school drum samples courtesy of Roland and Korg. As for the thematic content - the title pretty much speaks for itself. "Shame Drifter" is about being trapped in a lonesome existence with guilt and remorse as your only company".
Now, here is "Shame Drifter", while the first released EP's single, "After Dark, You're There", is HERE. Link
