Out of the city of Ipswich in Queensland, Australia comes the pioneering darkwave artist known as DAMIEN. The queer alternative artist shakes off the chains of fitting into mainstream sonic expectations to deliver something entirely new, creating a post punk industrial style full of profound political commentary.
With influences from artists such as Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails and Gorillaz, the DAMIEN sound pairs familiar pop-focused writing with dark and immersive arrangements to spin an otherworldly sound. Breaking out in 2020, he dropped his debut full-length record the following year with Girl followed up by his critically acclaimed sophomore album Wrong Age. Wrong Race. Wrong Gender. gaining the artist attention from fans and tastemakers around the world.
Off the back of his stellar second LP, he brings us his latest release with his brand new single titled “Nowhere”. Maintaining the unique sound that has become a trademark of DAMIEN, he channels the style of Billie Eilish and Siiickbrain on his new track to create a haunting and rhythmic energy.
Released as the lead single from his upcoming third album titled Candidate For the Abyss, set to drop in the second half of 2023, “Nowhere” shows an artist continue to work at the top of his game. Full of eerie atmospheric sonic textures, deep and driving synth-based instrumentation and a punchy beat, with “Nowhere” DAMIEN lays down a captivating new single that demonstrates both his talent and fierce originality.
