Turkish post-punk/darkwave duo Ductape released a brand new single and video "Blue Black". The emotional yet danceable melancholic single is marking the beginning of an exciting journey in 2025 for Ductape.
Ductape comments: "This emotionally rich track holds a special place in our hearts, capturing the raw essence of vulnerability and resilience through its melodies and lyrics. For us, "Blue Black" is not just a song—it's a deeply personal narrative that reflects on transformation and finding beauty within darkness. Releasing this piece as our first step into the new year feels significant and symbolic. We'd love for you to experience "Blue Black" and share this journey with us."
