The value of yesterday
Guides me still and you’ll obey
This bridge is the only way
Unless you burn it down
Brittany Bindrim slips back into the glow and glare as a cut-glass silhouette with “Ever So Slowly,” a sultry, smoldering new single from her forthcoming album Counterpoison (out October 24, 2025). The heat arrives at once: razor-edged guitars caress then carve, basslines prowl with after-hours menace, and her voice coils upward like smoke from a midnight match. It feels less performed than summoned—a slow burn, an omen breathed into neon.
At its heart, Ever So Slowly is a parable, one where the villain isn’t a singular face but an idea, a machine, a force that erodes without fanfare. The song draws its venom from themes of manipulation and coercion, examining the architecture of power built from small, almost imperceptible cruelties. Bindrim’s verses evoke the dismantling of history, the banishment of knowledge, and the cold efficiency of those who control the levers. A mythical chimera stalks these lines, embodying the appetite that topples temples and rewrites creation myths while the crowd still chants holy, holy!
Musically, it’s a darkwave/synthpop behemoth. slinky in its verse, crushing in its chorus. Synth lines coil and strike, industrial beats hammer with mechanical precision, and the hooks land like a trapdoor dropping open beneath your feet. It’s a rallying cry set to a rhythm you can dance to, even as the lyrics paint the slow-motion collapse of a world too distracted to notice its own unraveling.
Bindrim makes that intent explicit: “It’s a chilling allegory of manipulation, control, and psychological subjugation and is a rallying cry against authoritarian creep and corporate greed….I wanted to fuse visceral sound with haunting imagery…every beat and frame warns that complacency erodes us—ever so slowly.”
The accompanying self-directed video translates that urgency into vision. Created with Simona Noreik, it’s a rapid-fire montage of graphic boldness and dystopian beauty, fantastical landscapes fractured by confrontation, dancers moving like they’re shaking off unseen chains, and bursts of visual flame cutting through cold horizons. It feels cinematic, like the soundtrack to a lost sci-fi epic where the stakes are both intimate and infinite.
Bindrim isn’t here to soothe. She’s here to provoke, to remind you that the slow erosion of rights, memory, and truth happens in increments small enough to ignore until it’s far too late.

Brittany Bindrim’s solo journey began with 2024’s Velella Velella, released via Metropolis Records. Known for her commanding vocals and magnetic stage presence as the frontwoman of I:Scintilla, Bindrom ventures into bold new sonic territory: melding punishing beats, abrasive synths, and genre-defying arrangements. Spiral Out, produced by Matt McJunkins (A Perfect Circle, Poppy, Puscifer), is both a fierce catharsis and a rallying cry.
