Always dusk
Always Dusk was born from the minds of two daydreamers by a lake in 2024, inspired by the fading light of the sunset. Playing with different genres and soundscapes. Agatha (called A) and Yilin capture and share stories both lived and imagined in a blending of genres and soundscapes that range from light and dreamy to heavy and everything in between. The two former theatre students drifted towards each other through late-night assignments, backstage whispers, and a shared love of sound. For Always Dusk, inspiration strikes its strongest as the day starts to dissolve into night. Joining 4Against Music, the band's first single is set to release February 20th 2025. With stories and lyricism from A and music and sound design from Yilin, tag along and explore the hues of the setting sun while they try to figure out why the clouds are melting, what's real and which drum sample sounds closest to clapping. Their music becomes a shared space for reflection and discovery.
Will we drop anchor? Or will we drown?
Always Dusk’s first single ‘Shipwrecked’ explores this relentless cycle of torment from oneself or a personification of one's own mental struggle. Shipwrecked is that impasse between letting the demons win, having carried all the weight of the pain of battle, and the fear of hope. If we give in, is that really what we want? Or are we afraid to keep trying? The world is full of surprises and not all of them are good nor bad. We keep fighting. But it wouldn’t be too far-fetched to say that we’re terrified while we’re at it. Life’s unpredictability brings both light and shadow. Shipwrecked is a testament to our resilience—to fighting on, even when the journey feels terrifying.
“She and her” refers to one's own demons who (for the most part) tries to protect them from disappointment but actively sabotages any progress they’ve made.
