Dina Summer launch into 2025 with the final single, ‘Promise Me’ from their forthcoming album, Girls Gang. Featuring Curses and Joshua Murphy, the captivating new single is released on January 7th via Iptamenos Discos.

‘Promise Me’ is an intense and passionate track that encapsulates the all-encompassing feeling of love. Together, they create a romanticism that deepens the core themes of obsessive love that echoes throughout the Girls Gang album. Beginning as a sorrowful and emotive lament, the track builds emotional intensity, the multi-layers reflecting the complexities of romantic turmoil and desperation, finally erupting in an emotional crescendo.

Dina Summer's new album, Girls Gang, out on January 24th, is the highly anticipated follow-up to 2022’s acclaimed 10-track LP Rimini. Ahead of its release, the group has unveiled seven singles, including the title track, ‘Girls Gang’—an uncompromising, seductive track dedicated to goth icons like Morticia Addams and Elvira; the intense, euphoric-yet-melancholic ‘Schall & Rauch’; the dramatic and theatrical ‘Zombie’; the bold anthem ‘Nothing To Hide’; and the laid-back, pop-infused ‘Hypnotized.’

‘Promise Me’ collaborator, the Berlin-based Curses, fuses New Wave, Post-Punk, and 80s EBM into a genre-defying sonic experience. Known for his haunting vocals and electrifying guitar riffs, Curses channels the dark energy of the 80s with a modern edge.

With releases on labels like Dischi Autunno, Innervisions, Hoga Nord, Throne of Blood, and his own Ombra International label, Curses has become a leading figure in the darkwave scene. His new album Another Heaven (2024) on Italians Do it Better and his genre-defining Next Wave Acid Punx compilations on Eskimo Records cement his reputation as a pioneer of boundary-pushing, cinematic soundscapes.

Joshua Murphy was born and raised in rural Australia, before eventually moving to Berlin and becoming involved in the local scene as a member of various bands (Crime & The City Solution), local promoter and music venue curator released his debut solo EP Lowlands (2022) on aufnahme + wiedergabe.

‘Promise Me’, the epic final single from Dina Summer’s upcoming album Girls Gang, featuring the Curses and Joshua Murphy, is out on January 7th ahead of the album release on January 24th.

Lyrics:

When the night falls down,
fear wraps me tight.
When the night comes around,
the sea falls silent in the night.

When the night falls near,
all turns still and bare.
When the night’s drawing near,
every sound is a muffled cry.

Hurry, night,
and shadow my heart.
Bring the dark,
tear my memories apart.
Fall, oh night,
with a tender embrace.
Come, oh night,
and wrap me in your haze.

FALSE ft. awfuldrama

come see us on tour: www.yndling.news/tour

this is the third single off my next album. thank you so much for listening 🦋

lyrics:
do you think that we could go for a walk? 
i promise there’s no need for us to talk 
perhaps you’d let me hold your hand
if i promise to let go at the end 

i know you don’t care to stay around
lately i’ve tried to work on my pride 
but even thought i know it’s unfair 
if there’s something about you that still care

say i’m all you need
even if it’s a lie, i don’t mind 
need to hear it one more time 
i won’t hold you to it, it’s alright 

do you think you’ll still reply when I ask 
about your days, once we’re apart? 
cause even though i know it’s unwise 
i’d like to keep up with you and your life 

say i’m all you need
even if it’s a lie, i don’t mind 
need to hear it one more time 
i won’t hold you to it, it’s alright 

say i’m all you need
even if it’s a lie, i don’t mind 
need to hear it one more time 
i won’t hold you to it, it’s alright 

put your hands back in your pockets
let them rest, i’ll keep my promise 
it’s okay that you don’t want this
of course i saw it coming 
i like to spend time with my alternate lives 
could not expect you to understand why

say i’m all you need
even if it’s a lie, i don’t mind 
need to hear it one more time 
i won’t hold you to it, it’s alright

Even if it's a Lie (I Don't Mind)

red incarnate

Dance with me, forevermore
Dance with me, together
Dance with me, forevermore
Dance with me, forevermore

Destruction of the soul
You make it look divine
I fall apart in silence
Still hoping you'll be mine

Oblivion
Speaks in your breath
Soft like velvet
Sharp like death

You kiss like winter
Slow decay
And I am not myself
Today

Dance with me, forevermore
Dance with me, together
Dance with me, forevermore
Dance with me, forevermore

dance with me

a light from the shadows shall spring
𝖜𝖍𝖆𝖒𝖕𝖍𝖞𝖗 𝖈𝖛𝖑𝖙

dance with me
