Darkwave Project Redder Moon Kicks Off October With Video for “Drown The Fire”

Rubbing elbows with contemporaries like Vision Video, Urban Heat, and Rosegarden Funeral Party, Darkwave outfit Redder Moon brandishes a sound that is both sharp and distinctive. They’ve garnered a flicker of critical acclaim, with remixes by well-known artists and a nod from NPR’s Tiny Desk. But what really sets them apart are their dark, haunting melodies—perfect for the twilight hours. The band’s atmospheric riffs and hypnotic beats create a moody, magnetic aura, drawing listeners into their crimson-colored world. Redder Moon is rising, and they’re carving a path through the underground with relentless momentum.

Now, Redder Moon embarks on a new chapter for the band this October, starting with their latest single, “Drown The Fire,” with Jeremiah James taking the reins as lead vocalist and songwriter. The track burns hotter, straying from their typical brooding into a more raw, hard-hitting territory. James’ voice carries a punch, blending lyrical intensity with a fierce post-punk edge. You catch hints of The Sound, The Cult, and early U2 echoing in the background. The guitars blaze, the vocals hit hard, and it all feels ripped from a smoky ‘80s drama, balancing grit with just the right touch of emotional pull. It’s a bold, bristling anthem.

Drown The Fire burns with a mix of gothic pop, alternative rock, and shoegaze, all underscored by rhythmic dance beats that keep it moving. The pace is slow, almost hypnotic, but there’s an undeniable intensity simmering beneath the surface. It’s the kind of track you’d expect to hear as the credits roll on an apocalyptic finale, with moody guitars and haunting vocals pulling you deeper into its world. The sound is textured yet sharp, blending meditative calm with a pulse of impending chaos.

The video, starring Christina Jean and directed by LA’s Mary Chicken Soup, paints a picture of growing paranoia of the song. Jean’s character starts her night walking alone through the streets of LA, constantly checking over her shoulder. But it’s inside a dimly lit club, bathed in a deep red glow, where the tension spikes. Manically sketching in her notebook, her anxiety spirals. As she finally makes her way home, the unease doesn’t let up. Safety seems distant, and it’s unclear if her paranoia is justified or just a figment of her unraveling mind.
