Hypnagogia is a melancholic band from the Midwestern US. Darkly romantic, yet danceable, creating modern Gothic Darkwave music for those comfortable with the darkness - inside and out.
“Tantalizing ritual gothic chant with a spider shuffle tempo and summoner circle cadence. A wonderful new discovery.”
