Mystical moonlit nights: “My Mother Was The Moon” enchants with dark synth poetry
Official music video "My Mother Was The Moon (King Dude Cover)" performed by "Form Follows Function x Bianca Stücker".
In the dark world of dark pop/dark wave, the latest track "My Mother Was The Moon" by "Form Follows Function x Bianca Stücker" has a very special place. The dark, melancholic mood of the song invites you on a deep emotional and atmospheric journey. The intro alone is reminiscent of the best moments of a typical "Depeche Mode" ballad. The synthesiser sets in and unfolds a powerful dynamic that runs through the song and becomes more and more intense.
A comparison with the original by "King Dude" reveals that this version is much more than just a homage. It surpasses the original with its dense atmosphere and the tonal depth of the warm, full-sounding synthesizers. These develop into ever more eccentric and alien sounds over the length of the song, offering an exciting auditory experience.
Bianca Stücker's vocals are soft and restrained, blending seamlessly into the mix, which is reminiscent of the musical genre of witch house, but still retains its own unique flavour. Interestingly, the song challenges its listeners to get involved with it – similar to the complex works of "IAMX". This is not a song for fleeting listening experiences, but an invitation to go deep and let yourself be captured by the shimmering black synth waves.
