From the mountains of Madrid emerges Antinoë, the haunting one-woman neoclassical project of pianist/vocalist Teresa Marraco. With the release of her new video single, "Flock", Antinoë showcases another mesmerising preview of her forthcoming debut full-length, The Fold, due on 21 November via Karisma Records (Dark Essence Records' sublabel).

"Flock" showcases Antinoë's ability to weave neoclassical elegance with the atmospheric weight of metal, creating soundscapes that are fragile, immersive, and profoundly melancholic.

Teresa says about the track: "'Flock' incarnates the ethos of longing for what's always beyond reach, drifting between idealising stagnation and regretting it. A symphonic chant of yearning, both naïve and self-critical, where attachment to one's misery and reluctance to change set a passive yet tender state of frustration".

With her ethereal voice and piano-driven arrangements, Antinoë occupies a rare space in contemporary music where the delicate beauty of artists like Agnes Obel and Enya collides with the darkness of Chelsea Wolfe and Ulver. However, Antinoë's world is uniquely her own; darker and steeped in reflection, loss, and yearning, with an undeniable metal attitude coursing through her veins.

Since its inception in 2021, Antinoë has embraced a uniquely personal approach to darkness, building her songs around intimate piano compositions intertwined with her rich, resonant voice. Now, Antinoë unveils her first full-length of original material: The Fold. A conceptual journey that navigates the acceptance of death, tracing the process of "folding inward" to confront different stages of grief, one by one, inviting us to walk a deeply personal path that nonetheless exposes universal themes such as existentialism and the embracing of chaos as a necessary part of oneself. With The Fold, Antinoë transcends genre boundaries to deliver music that is delicate, symphonic, and unflinchingly dark, an invitation to step into shadows and discover their hidden beauty. Link
