Dreamy Darkwave Act Blood Relations Releases a Sombre and Wistful “Eulogy”

Darkwave Act Blood Relations releases brooding new full-length studio album Eulogy. The album is sombre and brooding, invoking the aural tapestries of The Cure circa Faith and Disintegration, but with crooning vocals that are reminiscent of John Foxx.

The album beings with the icy short synth and bass-driven journey, “Foreword (Sleepwalking),” leading into the melancholia-drenched single “Chapter 1: New December”.

“Chapter 2: A Hole Inside the Earth” evokes the UK gothic-rock guitar stylings of bands like The Mission, All About Ever, and The Cult, which continues in the slower-paced dirge “Chapter 3: The Empty House“.

“Chapter 4: The Birthday Party” is wistful and dreamy with strumming guitars and sighing synths, followed by the Jungian lullaby “Chapter 5: The Dream and the Shadow”. 

The album closes with the spellbinding and baroque melodies of “Epilogue (Grab the Axe),” cresting the collection of compositions brimming with earnest beauty and heartache.
