[DARK OXYGEN] is a periodic series at the Sights and Sounds where I collect a dark star explosion of the best dark indietronica out there. A lot of people can’t breathe in the black hole spaces that moody, sexual, slightly deranged and aspirational pop creates; but if you’re as big a fan of the genre as I am, you know dark pop can replace the air you breathe, like [DARK OXYGEN]

Dark pop gets a bad rap for being dramatic, but it’s all about being effortlessly cool. Especially in how it tells stories of being. So each soundcast will feature popular and up and coming artists who bring that dichtomous feeling of cinematic tragedy and heartbreaking hope to their music. All tied together with a punch/smattering to the heart of images, music and chevére videos. This time I feature:

LAPALUX ANDREYA TRIANA ZHU
SEOUL LANE 8 ROOSEVELT
DENITIA AND SENE MISOGI

when I was seven, my father said
“fashion fades, but beauty is eternal”
elegance is elimination, blue is a language
love and obsession, is separated by
a thin line, and that line is
[luxurious sigh]
infatuation

SEOUL// THE LINE
ROOSEVELT// NIGHT MOVES

the line, the line between
it’s time we go our own way
the night keeps us
moving along

in another way I feel
so much more than what seems real
all we are are just two lost souls
but we don’t know where the light goes

stop

all I want is just to feel you

i don’t want this. i don’t want this.
i don’t need this.

we’re here right now
and I have never, forgotten
all those novembers, i spent alone
all those decembers, where i’ve been
