New York (USA)-based dark pop act Ships In The Night, the solo project of songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Alethea Leventhal, released a new single, "Blood Harmony", taken from the upcoming album, Protection Spells, which will be released on 2 May via Metropolis Records. Her electronic dark pop music is drawn from dreams and memories to paint an atmospheric soundscape with sweeping waves of synthesisers and kinetic beats.
Alethea comments about the new single: "The song is an incantation to keep us safe and shelter us from harm. It is a reflection on the balance of the light and the darkness, good and evil, strength and vulnerability. It's about healing, survival, taking back power and letting go of the need for control."
"Blood Harmony" follows the recent "Some Of Those Dreams" (issued in November 2024, and you can check it out over HERE), with both included on her upcoming third album, Protection Spells. Link
