Pure Obsessions & Red Nights continues to fascinate with their new wave-meets-synth-pop masterpiece, "Where the Shadows Dance."

Pure Obsessions & Red Nights is the brainchild of Philippe Deschemin, "Where the Shadows Dance" showcases the proiject's ability to seamlessly blend lush, atmospheric synthesizers with dynamic electronic beats, all while incorporating the darker, brooding elements of industrial rock. It’s a soundscape that feels cinematic yet deeply personal, depicting Deschemin's creative ideas.

"Where the Shadows Dance" 's layered production creates a hypnotic tension, as shimmering synths blend with driving rhythms and occasional rock tones. Philippe’s vocals are haunting and evocative, channeling influences like David Bowie and Peter Steele, while maintaining a distinct, emotive edge. The chorus is both soaring and introspective, capturing a sense of intrigue that aligns perfectly with the band’s dark narrative aesthetic.

Lyrically, "Where the Shadows Dance" dives into a nocturnal world, rich with mystery and emotional depth, a reflection of the recurring themes in the Mr. Strangler saga. While the track doesn’t explicitly tie itself to Deschemin’s serialized storytelling, it echoes the gothic undertones and existential musings that are expected.

Fans of pioneers in electro pop blended with industrial and rock sounds will find something to admire here, while "Where the Shadows Dance" also offers a fresh, modern take on these influences.

"Where the Shadows Dance" is taken from Pure Obsessions & Red Nights full length album, "Nightbreed", released on December 6th, 2024.
