Persona

Eerily whispered vocals and creeping synths carried by an ominous beat. A song for stealthy secret admirers and peeping toms with shadowy desires. ‘In The Dark’ is a brooding artpop confession of an obsession gone just a tiny bit too far…

Josephine Odhil continues her exploration of humanity’s darker impulses with this hypnotic track. ‘In The Dark’ is the third single from her upcoming album, crafted with Maurits Nijhuis and Joost van Eck at the underground Studio Karakterbak.

Amsterdam based Josephine Odhil is a creator in the truest sense of the word, seamlessly blending music and visual art while drawing inspiration from the world around her. She has supported Altın Gün on tour and performed at festivals such as Motel Mozaique and Oerol. Following the release of her debut album Volatile she dove into a year-long exploration of evil through literature and cinema, keenly observing the darker aspects of the human psyche. The result: an intriguing sonic experience that resonates with dark tourists, true crime aficionados, and Pop Noir enthusiasts. Collaborating with Maurits Nijhuis and Joost van Eck, she recorded and produced the album at Studio Karakterbak—a studio that is quite literally underground. 

Empathy, Ennui and In The Dark are singles from the forthcoming album ‘Monstera’, set for release in April 2025.

Josephine Odhil – In The Dark

“We wrote this track soon after watching Daptone Records’ set at Green Man Festival 2022. Inspired by the driving rhythms of Motown and Northern Soul records from the likes of The Four Tops, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, Diana Ross and The Supremes et al. We then took aim to channel that timeless feeling with “Ceremony”.
Using sampled Motown drums, horns, and a ticking clock, we layered in our own vocal loops, approaching the arrangement much like a DJ would. By resampling the vocals on a Roland SP404 MKii, we created a fresh yet nostalgic atmosphere. We kept the bassline simple and driving to carve out space for Funk Brothers-esque guitar stabs, filling in the gaps with chaotic yet deliberate guitar flourishes and glitches.
Our goal was for the track to feel like a DJ remix of a classic Northern Soul hit from a bygone era, evoking the same feeling of nostalgia and energy that we experienced on that fateful morning at Green Man Festival. (Around 4 a.m.)”
