Italian electrogaze/darkwave/post-punk duo Bunnyblack have offered the first video track, "Eat Me", from their forthcoming debut full-length, Midnight, earmarked for release on 11 September.

The 8-bit sounds of the Nintendo Gameboy create the rhythms and textures of the song, which are grafted onto guitars, bass, and vocals. The result is a genre-hybrid song, deeply rooted in post-punk and darkwave, but also leaning toward synthwave. The main riff is swirling and obsessive, leading the song into a general crescendo, culminating in a finale drifting towards techno music.

Bunnyblack defy neat genre boundaries — and this is precisely what makes them stand out. Their influences are transmuted into something distinctly personal and unmistakably their own.

The "Eat Me" video, conceived and edited by Maiqqu, unfolds like an acid‑tinged journey between dreams and nightmares. Theatrical symbolic figures — at once alluring and menacing, reminiscent of Kabuki — appear throughout a woman's restless sleep. Intercut close‑ups of Bunnyblack performing amid fluorescent lights bind the imagery together, heightening the surreal, mind‑expanding atmosphere.

Based in Palermo, the duo operate at the intersection of 8‑bit Game Boy electronics, distorted guitars, and raw vocals. Their sound is lo‑fi, abrasive, and unrelenting, shaped by post‑punk tension, darkwave ambience, and shoegaze haze, where digital glitches collide with harsh electric textures. Bunnyblack comprise electronic musician and guitarist Maiqqu and multi‑instrumentalist Francesco Less (Velaut, Inside The Hole, Pupi di Surfaro, Disìu).

Between 2019 and 2024, Bunnyblack released three EPs — including Bunnyland and Bunnywave — steadily pushing their sound into colder, more hypnotic, and obsessive territories. In 2020, they placed third nationwide in the Bruce Springsteen‑dedicated Cover Me contest with a deconstructed rendition of "Dancing In The Dark". Link
