Misery Mile – At Night

Brief but intense darkness: Misery Mile's "At Night"

Misery Mile presents "At Night", an atmo­spher­ic­ally dense dark wave track that fits seam­lessly into the sound­scape of the genre. The song begins with a long, spher­ic­al intro that imme­di­ately builds a dark mood. As soon as the char­ac­ter­ist­ic dark wave gui­tar sets in and the driv­ing drums fol­low, you are imme­di­ately cap­tiv­ated. The syn­thes­iser is the secret star of the song and con­trib­utes sig­ni­fic­antly to the dark, dynam­ic mood, remin­is­cent of greats like "Dark" or "She Pleasures Herself".

However, the lyr­ics fall some­what short of the music­al expect­a­tions. Although it aptly cap­tures the cold and dark­ness of the night, the brev­ity of the text lacks lyr­ic­al depth. The strong effect of the vocals also seems a bit over­done and could be used more subtly in the future. At just 2:26 minutes long and with a strong instru­ment­al second part, the track seems a bit fleet­ing, but that could also be its appeal – a brief, intense immer­sion in the dark night.

Lyrics of "Misery Mile – At Night"

At night
You shiver
It's Cold
It's dark
Don't act
So bold

One life
One sinner
Don't fold

It's time
This story
Unfolds
