Berlin darkwave/post punk band Night Nail (led by Brandon Robert) have revealed their new single “Fates Explained”, alongside an accompanying video.

Robert shares: “The title for the album is something that came up for me in dream. Here’s how it went… I find this mirrored version of myself lost in Berlin. Over time all mirrors break and return to sand. Knowing this and as to prevent this, I begin to sell my music as a spiritual remedy in a liquid form to treat the illnesses of the pain-stricken, robotic-like-humans. I am running out of time. I am confronted by the many versions of myself. The dream ends strangely with me inventing a new identity and a way to escape the city through a specific wavelength of neutrinos generated from sunlight. When I woke up, I realized that all our individual “fates” are like me in this dream; scared, fatalistic, but sometimes adaptive and liberating. “
