Naarm (Melbourne) based Velatine are back with a third single in quick succession, called, “Orange to Black.” It feels like I just blinked after the previous single, but this goes to show how prolific Loki Lockwood is and he is showcasing yet another with female vocalist Nocturna.
The rhythm is both lethargic and rolling, yet constant, and it is joined by a trickling piano that dances around Nocturna’s singing. Her voice is cool and bluesy, with a certain enigmatic air, creating a bleak and beautiful gothic tribute to where everyone ends up in the end….as dust.
It really is a treat to hear so many different female vocalists performing with Velatine, and Nocturna really makes “Orange to Black” a brilliantly sultry experience. The video is a gothic delight, filmed in a cemetery giving the track a noire ambience. Finding the sombre allure at the end has never been so good.
