Night Tongue might be based in Los Angeles, but, Carisa Bianca Mellado (vocals, bass, synth) and Andrew Dalziell (vocals, guitar, cello, drums) are originally from Australian shores. However the darkwave group would not be complete without members Elle Haert  (synth, keys, vocals) and Jessica Reuter (drums, vocals), and August 18th saw the release of the single, “Human Things“.

This tracks threw me for a moment. It was like travelling back in time to the 80s, to when 4AD brought us the cream of the dreamy shoegaze and dark indie bands, such as Cocteau Twins. The vocals are delicate and floating, both entrancing and seductive, drawing you into a world of where we have passed the veil. The Dalziell’s guitar adds to the otherworldly swirling flight of fantasy.

Medallo’s singing is angelic and when entwined with the vocals of the others, becomes like spun gold thread of an intricate spider’s web capturing your ears and imagination. “Human Things” return to dust and maybe the unknown might reclaim us, but you can still enjoy the tenebrous sounds of Night Tongue…. while you can.
