Chicago (USA)-based synth-pop/darkwave artist Brittany Bindrim returns with "Spiral Out", the explosive first single from her forthcoming sophomore album, Counterpoison. Driven by gritty guitars, pulsing basslines, and soaring vocals, "Spiral Out" is a high-octane, genre-bending anthem that pulls listeners into its dark, kinetic orbit and refuses to let go.
The track’s infectious energy is underscored by a chilling message—a razor-sharp allegory for manipulation, institutional control, and psychological subjugation. Produced by Matt McJunkins (A Perfect Circle, Puscifer, Poppy, Eagles Of Death Metal), this single marks the beginning of a bold new era for Bindrim, who made her solo debut with the critically praised Velella Velella (Metropolis Records) in 2024.
Already celebrated as the dynamic frontwoman of I:Scintilla, she steps further into her sonic world with Counterpoison, which will be released on 24 October. The upcoming record explores transformation, empowerment, and the shadows of the human psyche, cementing Bindrim’s voice as both visceral and vital in the modern dark pop landscape. Whether you’re spiralling out or clawing your way back in, "Spiral Out" is the soundtrack to reclaiming your power. Link
