Vocalist Adam Parslow comments: “‘Cursed’ is a modern day ‘Jack & Sally’ love story. It is a song for anyone that has ever felt like life & luck are against you. It is our message to anyone that feels that way… we want you to know you are not alone. Keep your heart open, you never know where you might find love.
"For the music video, we teamed up with the incredibly talented shadow puppeteer Tania Yager, to bring our Tim Burton inspired vision to life using the ancient art of Shadow Play.”
Fresh from their support of post-hardcore heavyweights Casey, The Nightmares will be touring Séance at the following shows:
Co-headline with Miss Vincent:
Apr 19: Southampton Joiners
Apr 20: Newcastle Little Buildings
Apr 21: Leeds Boom
Apr 22: Newport The Westgate Hotel
Apr 23: Kingston Fighting Cocks
Forming in 2018, The Nightmares are as inspired by shared musical passions - The Cure, Placebo, Interpol - as they are by the art of seances themselves. Centred on the local music scene of Newport, South Wales, the quartet quickly embarked on their first UK tours in 2019, including supporting local legends Holding Absence. The Nightmares have also toured with Tiger Army, Aaron West and the Roaring Twenties, Bleak Soul, and supported Salem and Bad Nerves, among others.
Plans for future touring, along with the rest of the world, were derailed by the COVID pandemic. Instead, then, The Nightmares turned to writing music and experimenting with seances - and what unfolded during these long nights had a lasting effect on the band.
The noir pop quartet's recurring themes of death, love and mourning have already chimed with fans and critics alike, including early support from The i Paper, Clash, Kerrang! and more. Elements of The Cure, Salem and Interpol clash and collide throughout Séance, and listen out for a special guest feature from Creeper / Salem's Will Gould on track six, 'Murder Season'.
