Weekly Journal

"I Could Sense A Tragedy" is a dark synthpop track that radiates melancholy and introspection.

"I Could Sense A Tragedy"'s atmosphere is drenched in moody synth textures, creating a lush yet unsettling soundscape. Eric Nelson’s vocals carry a haunting sincerity, delivering the lyrics with a restrained emotional weight. A pulsing electronic beat drives the track forward, reminiscent of classic dark wave influences. The song is also written and performed in memoriam of dAVOS founding member Michael Ruin who passed away in 2024.

Shades of Depeche Mode and Diorama can be heard in the layered synths and melancholic melodies. The production is elegant, yet maintains an intimate, raw emotional depth. Haipl’s guitar work adds subtle textures, weaving seamlessly into the electronic foundation. "I Could Sense A Tragedy" feels like an elegy, its somber tone reflecting on personal and existential struggles. 

Michael Ruin’s legacy seems to echo within the song, adding an unspoken layer of sorrow. The chorus is catchy and deeply affecting in its simplicity. A sense of cinematic style builds as the song progresses, drawing into its melancholic world. The interplay between delicate synth arpeggios and deep basslines creates a hypnotic effect.

Lyrically, it explores themes of loss, fate, and an inevitable emotional downfall. "I Could Sense A Tragedy" is a perfect prelude to "ruin/grado", which is out on March 14th, hinting at a deeply introspective album. dAVOS proves they can be a force in the dark wave and synthpop scene.
