Hungarian dark electro/pop-noir duo Black Nail Cabaret has released its sixth full-length, Chrysanthemum, through Dependent.
The beautiful Chrysanthemum derives its name from the Latin version of the ancient Greek χρυσάνθεμον, which translates as "gold flower". Its humble white form is also known as the 'cemetery flower' as its longevity is often used to adorn graves, while for Black Nail Cabaret its blossom paves the way for our own deathbed portraits.
Musically, the duo has brought the outstanding songwriting ability closer to perfection, with Chrysanthemum effortlessly blending dark electronic sounds with pop noir elements.
Although Black Nail Cabaret also remains true to its marked penchant for sexually explicit provocation, the primal and subconscious fear of death that triggers emotions, anxiety and the fear of letting go is also a thread running through Chrysanthemum. Moreover, their eroticism has always sought to avoid cheap clichés; rather, they depict their living BDSM reality in an artistic fashion framed by high aesthetic standards.
Black Nail Cabaret self-released its fourth album Pseudopop in 2018, a record that successfully fused art, pop, dark harmonies and powerful electronics. It made an impressive mark on the electronic music scene in its home territory and received an international relaunch after its 2020 follow-up Gods Verging On Sanity saw its reputation spread rapidly, even though the global pandemic enforced limitations upon them.
The stars have now fully aligned for Black Nail Cabaret to take on the world with a dark soundtrack to life's glory symbolised by a shiny white flower of seeming innocence that at closer inspection also carries the eternal might of death in its scent: Chrysanthemum. Link
