Both songs burn with dark romantic spirit—but damn it, you’ll want to dance. A high energy, pulsating electro-dance beat provides a sublime counterpoint to the darkness of the lyrics in each.
The songs break free from genre specific formulas. NINA’s haunting vocals mix with RADIO WOLF’s rich, atmospheric synth rises, propulsive electric guitar playing and experimental SFX, to create a sophisticated, lush fusion of electronica and rock n roll—made all the more impressive because the artists created, recorded, produced and mixed the songs in a custom built home studio.
NINA: “We were definitely exploring our dark side together…we wanted the lyrics and sounds to inspire a timeless, romantic quality…a sound and feeling that’s wild at heart.”
RADIO WOLF: “By fusing modern electronic technology with older more organic music styles like rock ‘n’ roll, we create our own mythical lyric and sonic territory.”
The artists first met while touring on the same bill in the US West Coast—NINA under her own name and RADIO WOLF as a de facto member of synth-pop band Parallels, with whom he was also co-writing/producing a soundtrack of songs for the feature film PROXIMITY (released by LAKESHORE RECORDS). Later, on tour again, this time on the East Coast, Radio Wolf and NINA hooked up to discuss a collaboration.
NINA had just quit her record label to make her album CONTROL (also released by LAKESHORE RECORDS), which features samples from Cliff Martinez’s DRIVE film score. Now, looking for a new sound adventure, the timing was perfect to team-up with RADIO WOLF who immediately co-wrote and produced her first single as an independent artist, ‘CARNIVAL NIGHT’, which WONDERLAND magazine called “…masterful”. A new RADIO WOLF production of her song ‘I’LL WAIT’ from the feature film THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS VAMPIRES followed and was much praised by her fans and the film’s director.
