The third in the series of remixes deriving from Dark Synthetics, the debut full length by Secret Shame, and one of last year's very best albums, comes from anonymous darkwave duo, None of Your Concern from Chicago, who present their own haunting take on Haunter.
This new version of the song preserves the immense darkness of the original, while sounding considerably faster and more otherworldly, mainly due to the atmospheric synths that provide an extra layer of eeriness to Secret Shame's notable gloom and obscurity. Like the previously revealed remixes by XOR and SKNQTR, None Of Your Concern's re-imagining is a supplementary addition to the unrestricted depth of the songwriting and post punk ethos which Secret Shame unreservedly present.
As the Asheville band goes forward in the new year with a sleeker lineup composed of vocalist Lena, guitarist and synth player Billie, bassist Matthew and drummer Nathan, a vinyl version of Dark Synthetics is also in the works and scheduled to arrive March 27th, 2020. There is also a series of upcoming live dates in February, followed by a full East Coast and Midwest tour in March and April, on some of which they'll be joined by Reduction Plan.
