jhulud Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 From the shadows of a dark sonic past emerge a bright new day for Night Sins, the Philadelphia-based project of singer-songwriter Kyle Kimball. After two years of near silence, Kimball wipes the cobwebs from his undead body of work to reveal Portrait in Silver, the fourth full-length under the Night Sins moniker. For those who have followed Kimball from his new grave to London, the lake, and beyond, Portrait may come as a bit of a surprise. Replacing the Eldritch croons and gloomy dirges which have long defined the Night Sins sound are hushed vocals and upbeat rhythms more akin to Violator than Floodland. The transition from goth rock to full-on synth pop has been a long time coming for Kimball. While his earlier work was primarily driven by guitar and bass lines, the underlying presence of synths has gradually risen closer to the surface with each release. And with the glistening pop of Portrait in Silver, Night Sins shines in a whole new light.

radiatorhums Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I'm going to have to hear more before I make a choice. There's some parts of the single I like, but I'm not sure if a whole album in this style would be for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opivy Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 New song sounds good, but I'll definitely miss the old style. I'll always think of Shoot Me Up and New Grave when I hear Night Sins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrodan Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 really embracing the industrial on this single, and i can really dig it. song is a grower too. catchiness peaks after only a few listens. sounds like NIN and Depeche Mode at their grimiest.
