End of Summer Dark Music Night w/ Feyleux, Winter Sect, Talking to Shadows
Advertisement
Feyleux is a new dark alternative duo that emerged in mid-2023, seamlessly blending dream pop, darkwave, and post-punk to create their distinct sound. Their debut album, “ Midnight Hearts”, released via the Swiss Dark Nights label, showcases cutting-edge bass synthesizers, cascading guitar melodies, and ethereal harmonies, drawing on the vibrant gothic synth-pop aesthetics of the 1980s as well as modern darkwave.
“Midnight Hearts” beautifully merges a dreamy urgency with dramatic flair, embodying the spirit of dark romanticism. This powerful fusion invites a deep exploration of apocalyptic love and anger, firmly establishing Feyleux’s surrealistic gothic style in the contemporary dark scene.

Press Quotes:
Post-punk.com - "The music entices you with a carefree melody, but the voices suggest something deeper and a tad unsettling, ensuring you’re always a little bit on edge. It’s that feeling you get when the ouija board starts spelling out something a little too real." - Post-punk.com, Alice Teeple
Winter Sect is an icy breath of Gothic psych and glam rock from members of DC/Baltimore Post-punk stalwarts Sister Ex featuring
Claudia Neuman on bass and vocals, Haether Wayward on keys guitarist Anthony Piazza, and drummer Darryl J. Dardenne.
In late 2023 California native Neuman and Piazza created Winter Sect to deliver a chilling feedback drenched soundscape that incorporates influences across the spectrum of Goth, New Wave, industrial and psychedelic music. In 2024 They released two singles “Mystic Twin” and Haunted House”, followed by “Say Goodbye” in 2026 and an upcoming EP.
