Today’s video of the day is Noromakina – "Dark" released in 2021.
“Dark” by Noromakina captures the essence of their intense and cinematic sound. Released in 2021, the song appears on the duo’s second EP, Umbra, issued by Cold Transmission. Based in Bogotá, Colombia, Noromakina blends darkwave and electro with a distinct lo-fi edge. Members Mel Zb and Pluszeichen merge vintage and modern synthesizers to craft deep, textured soundscapes. The track “Dark” stands out as a powerful reflection of their shadowy and emotional aesthetic.
The video for “Dark” visually expands on the band’s dark artistic vision. Influenced by gothic culture, occult symbology, and brutalist architecture, Noromakina creates an atmosphere both mysterious and hypnotic. Retro horror films also shape their imagery, giving each frame a haunting, cinematic quality. This visual storytelling perfectly complements the song’s pulsing synths and evocative vocals, immersing viewers in a world of beauty and dread.
“Dark” continues the sonic path Noromakina began with Visceral (2020), their debut EP. While Visceral introduced their raw, analog-driven energy, Umbra refined it into a more layered and introspective sound. Together, both releases showcase the duo’s evolution within modern darkwave. Each song, including “Dark,” strengthens their reputation as one of Colombia’s most compelling electronic acts, merging emotion and darkness into a sound that feels both nostalgic and new.
