Rotherham, UK post punk/electronic/industrial/synthpop artist Karl D’Silva has dropped his new single “Flowers Start To Cry“.
The track features on his upcoming debut full-length, ‘Love Is A Flame In The Dark‘, set to arrive on October 4 via Night School. Pre-order it here.
A raw labour of love, a towering spire of twisted steel, tenderness and becoming, the new record features a body of songs that belies the virtuoso talents of an artist whose reputation has been built on collaborating with various avant garde underground luminaries. Self-recorded at home in Rotherham and pulsing with the conviction of a true believer, these songs burst out of their self-consciousness to meet life head on, bristling with energy, 10 glimpses of the human spirit in the darkness.
Recorded throughout 2021 – 2023 and mixed in Leeds with engineer Ross Halden, D’Silva constructed a Pop language for himself. Mutated songs that owe a small debt to the post-industrial music of outfits such as Cabaret Voltaire, Nine Inch Nails, and Coil, but they’re fueled by a strong sensitivity, earnestness, and D’Silva’s knack for melody. The tracks are unabashed, earnest love letters to living, requiems for a world fading away and small gestures of solidarity in the face of entropy.
