NYC Darkwave Duo R. MISSING Release Atmospheric Reimagination Of SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES’ Hit Single “SPELLBOUND”

11th August 2023 0 By Jon Deaux

R.Missing pays homage to goth rock legends, Siouxsie and the Banshees, by offering a fresh take on a beloved classic, “Spellbound.” R. Missing’s transformative rendition is the downtempo, darkwave answer to the frenetic, post-punk pace of the original, featuring swirling synth drones, drum machine beats, shimmering keys, and the melodic whisperings of the vocal line, floating just above. This delicately layered, minimalist cohesion of sonic elements creates a delicate, ethereal soundscape that showcases their unique, dark synthpop sound.
