Bardo Stars - "Sacred Serpent"
Sounds from France
Bardo Stars’ “Sacred Serpent” is a mesmerizing dive into the haunting and danceable world of early 80s goth, evoking the unmistakable vibes of The Cure and Joy Division. Built around a foundation of synth and drum loops, the track creates an atmospheric soundscape that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly modern.
The vocals in “Sacred Serpent” are a standout feature, delivered in a style that’s almost spoken but brimming with attitude. This semi-spoken delivery adds a layer of intrigue, as if the lyrics are being whispered secrets meant only for those willing to listen closely. The tone strikes a perfect balance between detachment and emotion, echoing the stark, introspective styles of Ian Curtis and Robert Smith.
Ultimately, “Sacred Serpent” succeeds in reviving the spirit of 80s goth while carving out its own unique identity. Bardo Stars have masterfully blended the era’s iconic elements—dark atmospheres, infectious rhythms, and emotive vocal delivery—into a cohesive and captivating piece.
