Originating as the bedroom project and primary creative outlet of Jana Cushman, Darkswoon has since evolved into an energetic trio, with Cushman crooning on vocals and guitar, Rachel Ellis stacking the electronic backbone of danceable beats and haunting synth lines, and all of it punctuated by the intelligent, rhythmic bass lines of Andrew Michael Potter. The band evokes old school goth and post punk of early 4AD label darlings, but maintains a modern edge and originality. Their first full length album was released February 9th 2019 on Icy Cold Records, an independent label in cooperation with Manic Depression Records. The band can be heard on the soundtrack for the newly released indie film ‘My Summer As A Goth’ which is currently touring in the film festival circuit (Santa Fe Film Festival, Kansas City FilmFest International, Tomorrow’s Ghost Festival). Cushman also composed the original score. RECENT PRESS: "The album channels both fierce electronic prowess and shoegaze-inspired guitar textures, centered by vocalist Jana Cushman’s croon, Rachel Ellis’ evocative synth lines, and Andrew Michael Potter’s pulsing bass. As such, the band channels both the detached chill of early Fever Ray and Eurythmics as well as the churning menace of Modern English." "...both incredibly powerful and irresistibly catchy at once." -- Frank Deserto of Post-Punk.com "The range of moods and styles expressed on BIND‘s eight tracks is impressive, as each represents a distinct direction and set of influences but manage a consistent voice that’s uniquely Darkswoon. Equally suited for late night headphone sessions and dancing in the fog-drenched environs of your local goth club." Eric Sorenson of Igloo Magazine “Darkswoon’s latest full length, ‘Bind’, represents a quantum leap in their sound. Fans of austere electronic acts like The Knife, Austra and Eurythmics will find the mechanical precision of their synth leads and drum grooves addicting while followers of blissed-out guitar pop are sure to be delighted with the ambience Cushman invokes with her ethereal vocals and blurry guitar lines.” Pete Cottell of Willamette Week UPCOMING PERFORMANCES 4.4 -- Out From The Shadows Festival V at the Tonic Lounge (Portland,OR) 4.20 -- Lovecraft Bar (Portland, OR) 4.24 -- Spectrum (Eugene, OR) 4.26 -- Le Voyeur (Olympia, WA) 4.28 -- LoFi for Seagaze Shoegaze Festival (Seattle, WA) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d8f45f7da24f75d2eb9259/1581194876930-G7P0SKX374SM2Q0031BR/20191214-IMG_4168.jpg Media http://darkswoon.com/news daily 0.75 2019-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d8f45f7da24f75d2eb9259/1544902473745-GCSWUY6ZAW9NF52B69PE/bind+7.jpg News http://darkswoon.com/contact daily 0.75 2019-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d8f45f7da24f75d2eb9259/1638217987401-4AS52WFF0UMEB8K8HFUJ/IMG_0096.JPG Contact http://darkswoon.com/epk daily 0.75 2026-03-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d8f45f7da24f75d2eb9259/13769e39-6048-4deb-bb80-90e3591be73a/Darkswoon+is+Jana+Cushman%2C+Rachel+Ellis%2C+and+Norah+Lynn..jpeg Darkswoon EPK https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d8f45f7da24f75d2eb9259/fabf450d-0fb4-4457-970e-0407be4137e4/Eaten+By+Wolves+EP+1.png Darkswoon EPK https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d8f45f7da24f75d2eb9259/0ffdbdd9-884a-47e0-a47f-82533666a64e/Bloom+Decay+Cover.png Darkswoon EPK http://darkswoon.com/originalscore daily 0.75 2020-05-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d8f45f7da24f75d2eb9259/1572636162879-D99LOQP7NSWQN90J2XXD/75593787_2481258861994782_6884817397073575936_n.jpg originalscore https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d8f45f7da24f75d2eb9259/1589752117435-D4RXHG895I2F6498R6AB/92818492_3131761426856161_5609861466267058176_n+%282%29.jpg originalscore
