Love in a Coffin — Idol Talk Unveil Video for Icy Darkwave Single, "Dark Objects" — Post-Punk.com

Idol Talk, a North Carolina darkwave trio dealing in cold circuits and colder truths, arrive with Allure, their debut full-length via Boared to Death Records. Smeared in mascara and malaise, their sound conjures dancefloor drama and good old-fashioned existentialism.Dark Objects, the second single from Allure, runs like cold mercury through heartbreak, hunger, and ruin. Idol Talk build a sleek procession of synths and sorrow, nodding toward The Cure’s brittle beauty and the funereal poise of The Sisters of Mercy, while channelling the glassy precision of Drab Majesty and Twin Tribes. It’s music for the after-hours, the kind played while streetlights blur and names are forgotten.
