If It's Too Loud...

Boston darkwave duo Ex-Hyena are back with a new single. "Dark Lights" is a little more restrained than we're used to from the band, but still totally dance worthy. It's a complete vibe of a song, with keys straight from the 80's, and a danceability that's more than a little stealthy. If dark, vintage style dance music is your thing, this one is going to be a lot of fun. (Of course, with this genre, fun is quite relative...) "Dark Lights" has the darkness of Depeche Mode mixed with the groove of Pet Shop Boys, and if that sounds great to you, you're going to adore this one.  You can watch the video for "Dark Lights" below. The EP for "Dark Lights" is out now on Re:Mission Entertainment, and is available via Bandcamp . For more on Ex-Hyena, check out the artist on Instagram and Facebook . They'll be playing an absolutely stacked bill at Ralph's Rock Diner in Worcester with Proles, Lipsmear, and Gossip Collar.

Boston darkwave duo Ex-Hyena are back with a new single. As you can probably guess from the fact that they're a darkwave band, Ex-Hyena's songs tend to be dark. While "This is Your Love" is dark, compared to their previous releases, this one is downright cheery. It's reminding me a lot of early Depeche Mode and Pet Shop Boys. It's quite dance friendly, and while I personally consider all of their music fun, this one would be considered fun by everyone, not just those of us whose taste runs to the more depressing or darker. "This is Your Love" has such a classic darkwave and New Wave feel to it that we're finding it completely irresistible.  You can listen to "This is Your Love" below. The single is out now on Re:Mission Entertainment along with a remix by Club Drugs via Bandcamp . For more on Ex-Hyena, check out the band on Instagram . This Is Your Love by Ex-Hyena

I've been loving the darkwave music coming from Boston's Ex-Hyena ever since we discovered them in 2022. The duo have sounded like no one else in the city for the past three years, and while their music is typically dark and brooding, their latest single sees them moving in a different direction. "Vanishing Edge" is the fastest and most dance friendly song they've released so far. As dark as it is, it's still a club friendly dance song, and a banger, as the kids say. This one is reminding me of late 80's club tracks, especially from an artist like Depeche Mode or Pet Shop Boys. "Vanishing Edge" is making me look forward to getting out to see Ex-Hyena again, hopefully sooner than later. You can listen to "Vanishing Edge" below. XX YOUR LOVE is due out this summer on Re:Mission Entertainment. For more on Ex-Hyena, check out the artist on Facebook and Instagram . Vanishing Edge by Ex-Hyena

Boston darkwave duo Ex-Hyena have released a new single/EP that you're going to want to check out. Shapeshifter consists of two songs ("Shapeshifter" and "Reptile," which were both included on last year's A Kiss of the Mind ) and remixes of those songs. "Shapeshifter" is a wonderfully minimalistic darkwave song that is instantly mesmerizing. The true joy of darkwave is how dark and foreboding the music can be, but it will still compel you to dance. That is the specialty of Ex-Hyena. "Reptile" is just as minimalist, but this song is more brooding than dance friendly. Both of these new tracks fit perfectly into the world of Ex-Hyena. The three remixes are by Big Time Kill, Slighter, and Dread Risks, and up the dance factor a bit while still keeping the originals' brooding qualities. You can watch the video for "Shapeshifter" below. Shapeshifter is out now via Re:Mission Entertainment, and is available through Bandcamp . For mo...

Photo via Facebook Our favorite dark electronic music artists out of Boston just released a new single. "Spiral Down" is the latest from Ex-Hyena, and it's exactly what we listen to them for. It's an intense and dark single that harkens back to the glory days of Depeche Mode and the very early days of Ministry. I'm sure most people are going to find "Spiral Down" to be a depressing song, but this is one of the styles of music I just enjoy too much to ever not be delighted by it. If you love your synth music to be dark, and are looking for a modern day update of your favorites from the 80's, Ex-Hyena will never do you wrong. You can listen to "Spiral Down" below. The single is out now via Re:Mission Entertainment. For more on Ex-Hyena, check them out on Facebook and Instagram . Spiral Down by Ex-Hyena

Dark electronic Boston based duo Ex-Hyena recently released a new single that encapsulates everything we enjoy about them. "In Slow Motion" has that perfect goth sound we expect from Ex-Hyena. It's that perfect mid-tempo song that just revels in how moody it is. "In Slow Motion" is not a cheery song at all. It's dark, and a little disturbing, but you're still going to want to dance to it. Maybe I just have Drab Majesty on the mind after seeing them a few nights ago, but this one is giving me Drab Majesty meets early Depeche Mode and Ministry vibes. It's an endlessly compelling song that just gets more and more addicting the longer you listen. You can listen to "In Slow Motion" below. The song is currently available via Re:Mission Entertainment, and can be downloaded through Bandcamp . For more on Ex-Hyena, check out the band on Instagram and Facebook . In Slow Motion by Ex-Hyena
