Take me deep into your crypt
I am here, my blood is free
I’ve been damaged so I’m not scared
If you don’t care, I don’t care
In a crypt of battered spirits, a soul aches with surrender, a yearning for oblivion. Fear is spent, replaced by acceptance; no illusions remain. The speaker invites dissolution, craves a final descent into mystery. The refrain swirls in resignation: we’re going nowhere, and it weighs on every heart. Freed by damage, they cling to one another, unafraid to drift into a darkness they’ve already tasted. This time, they feel alive.
This sharp sweetness lingers like a parting kiss, threading through Follow Me, the new single from Belarusian darkwave trio Dlina Volny. With roots in Minsk, now scattered between Warsaw and London, Dlina Volny weaves Eastern European post-punk with Western electronic minimalism, their sound a storm of longing and defiance.
2025 looms large with In Between, their third album on Italians Do It Better, promising a harsher, more unrelenting force—industrial edges, EBM aggression, coldwave cool. Follow Me plunges headlong into this abyss, seeking salvation in spectral corridors. Drum machines hammer, synths seethe, guitars cut; the night swallows the voice whole.
In Between plunges into the turmoil of transformation, the sting of disillusionment, and the magnetic pull between the familiar and the unknown. Co-produced by Johnny Jewel (Chromatics, Desire), the album deepens Dlina Volny’s fusion of Eastern European post-punk austerity with the sleek, menacing allure of Western darkwave.

No strangers to international recognition, the trio first turned heads with Dazed (2021), mixed by David Lynch collaborator Dean Hurley. That release cemented their reputation for melding nostalgic post-punk roots with a sharpened modern edge. Festival appearances at ESNS, Pop Messe, Grauzone, Pop-Kultur, and Kalabalik på Tyrolen have since solidified their presence across Europe.
