As if we could not be more hyped for the Italians Do It Better takeover at Primavera Sound’s Ciutat shows this summer, our loves Desire have just announced a new album is on its way, with the first single, ‘Darkside‘ out now.

Listening to ‘Darkside’ gives you that instant dopamine hit, the nostalgia of those synths with Megan Louise serving you cinematic, sensual nonchalance on the vocals as she purrs, ‘we could do it all night, only on the darkside.’

“The song is about the invisible line we draw between our outer reality & our inner world. The darkside is a meatphor for the unmasked internal space that we rarely share with strangers. A secret realm that never sees the light of day. On the endless hunt for love, we crave a deeper connection that can only come with truth. The mirror sees you…on the darkside. Crash into the starlight.” – Desire

Desire’s third album, Games People Play, is out later this year and you can catch the band play Manchester’s Pink Room on 24th May. ‘Sunrise in your eyes, we can say goodnight…’
