NONEXISTER have also announced their debut album Demons, which will be released on March 15 via the band’s own label (distributed by The Orchard) digitally, as CD, and as 2xLP gatefold vinyl (180g), including a bonus track.
After dropping “Your Pain Up My Veins,” “Drowning In The Void,” and “How Do You Dare,” the last of which was released in September, “A Promise In The Air” is the fourth single release from the now-announced debut album.
Producer and multi-instrumentalist Marco Neeser says about the new single, “‘A Promise In The Air’ is the antithesis of a pop song. It is long, it builds up slowly, it leads the listener astray by beginning with a pulsating synth line and seductive, intimate vocals, and then finally dissolving into an epic finale of guitars.”
Singer Nik Leuthold adds, “The song is about the raging night of an impossible love, about two people who burn brightly when they get close to each other, but each burn in this fire. Now, they meet again and try to keep control this time and escape the maelstrom. But once again, they are each other’s drug and plunge into this maelstrom, powerless and yet open-eyed, surfing through the night in a mixture of frenzied desire, overwhelming happiness, and deep despair. They know where it will end and yet they can’t keep their hands off each other. An unstoppable tidal wave of laughter and tears, lust, hope, and despair sweeps them away, leaving devastation again in its wake.”
NONEXISTER thrive on the interplay of electronic energy and hard catharsis. The band’s very first single Your Pain Up My Veins was released in March 2023, with a spectacularly dark video starring actress Carol Schuler. Second single Drowning In The Void followed in June, with an equally cinematic and highly sophisticated video. Sonic whirlwind ‘How Do You Dare‘ came next in September 2024, its video featuring rising British theatre/TV star Selina Jones (Kaos, Raised By Wolves), who won “Best Female Actor in a Play” at the 2022 Black British Theatre Awards. As if they were blasting an after-hours club in the middle of nowhere, the group, consisting of Marco Neeser (electronics, songwriting, production), Nik Leuthold (vocals, songwriting, production), Reto “Fu” Gaffuri (bass), Siro Müller (drums, backing vocals) and Silvan Gerhard (guitar, backing vocals), swing like a pendulum between moments of industrial ecstasy and moshpit-worthy outbursts.
