A Nighthawk

A Nighthawk are Ted Malmros from the Shout Out Louds and Sarah Snavely formerly of Dag För Dag. Having formed the duo in 2011, they have since released two EPs, and are now weeks away from the release of their debut album, ‘Ice In The Belly, Fire In The Mind’, on 26 Feb.

Two tracks from the album have so far slithered their way onto SoundCloud. Both continue in the vein of dark pop that was set out in earlier releases, though they bring new depth to the outfit’s sound. ‘Coming For You’ is a tense concoction of twisted melodies, while ‘Dune’ circles you, trying to catch you off guard with chanted vocals, staccato percussion and swirling organ.

Listen to both tracks here:
