DARKPLACE - Unveils Debut Single And Animated Eerie Video

The mysterious Swedish dark dream pop/post-punk act Darkplace has released the debut single and eerie animated video "Arken Över Hesselby". Darkplace have just finished creating a conceptual debut album entitled About The End Of The World, inspired by the bleak landscape of the Stockholm suburbs that birthed them.

Is it centred around an alternative reality - or just the grim present and future? - and entitled About The End Of The World, the album will be unveiled gradually over the coming months via a series of imaginative visuals based on animated digital paintings for each of its eleven tracks, commencing with the first single "Arken Över Hesselby" (The Ark Over Hesselby). A hypnotic, swirling two-minute mini-epic, the dramatic instrumental piece could certainly provide the soundtrack to the end of days and is a perfect introduction to this new and enigmatic presence on the scene.

Although rooted in the late 80s/early 90s indie styles, Darkplace incorporate a variety of other genres into their sound. However, for the members of this highly secretive group, it is not just about the music. They perceive themselves as more of an art project that happens to be exploring and commenting on the state of the world through their chosen mediums of music and video. This innovative approach is sure to turn heads.

The single "Arken Över Hesselby" is out now on the Icons Creating Evil Art label, and you can watch the video right here. Link
