The USA-based darkwave/EMB/synth pop duo Religion Of Heartbreak has shared a new track, "100 Degrees", which precedes the band's EP, Lunate, due on 12 September.
With "100 Degrees", Religion Of Heartbreak transforms perpetual longing into dance floor salvation. Mikal Shapiro's sensually detached vocals float over Dedric Moore's pounding EBM foundation, where snakey synth leads coil around italo disco-ized bass lines in a haze of post-wave nostalgia. The track resuscitates lost loves through desperate dreamscapes that spark second chances, casting shadows from the past while the fog machine churns at maximum capacity.
"100 Degrees" captures that feeling when eyes meet across a crowded floor and resistance becomes impossible - a moment when dancing eyeliner moves and syncretic chemistry collides. This is electronic pop music for the romantically wounded, the perfect soundtrack for those who prefer their heartbreak served with a relentless beat.
Religion Of Heartbreak formed out of a desire to make music with a darker dance floor focus. The combination of Mikal Shapiro's vocals battling against Dedric's icy synths, mechanised beats, and dub-inflected electro-bass creates a juxtaposition that works in all the right ways. The grooves are there. The songs are clever and always filled with a sense of lost love as we follow our dark hearts. Link
