BRITTANY BINDRIM PREMIERES NEW VIDEO AND SINGLE “EVER SO SLOWLY” - A Slinky yet Crushing Darkwave Monster from Her Upcoming Album Counterpoison

Darkwave/synthpop powerhouse Brittany Bindrim unveils her striking new single and video “Ever So Slowly,” created by Simona Noreik. This lead visual and sonic statement arrives today ahead of her sophomore album Counterpoison (out October 24, 2025).

“Ever So Slowly” is a slinky yet crushing darkwave monster that sinks in its teeth with razor-sharp synth lines and punishing industrial beats, culminating in unforgettable, dance-floor-seizing hooks. Mythic, allegorical lyrics deliver a chilling indictment of ideological decay and sound an alarm on slow societal collapse.

“I wanted to fuse visceral sound with haunting imagery,” says Bindrim. “With ‘Ever So Slowly,’ every beat and frame warns that complacency erodes us—ever so slowly.”

Key Credits:

  • Produced by: Matt McJunkins (A Perfect Circle, Puscifer, Poppy)

  • Animated and edited by: Simona Noreik

  • Recorded at: Secrethand Studios, Los Angeles

About Counterpoison
Following her 2024 debut Velella Velella (Metropolis Records), Counterpoison ventures deeper into themes of transformation, sociopolitical unrest, and the shadows of the human psyche. Across gritty dance bangers and moody ballads, Bindrim melds abrasive synths, punishing beats, and powerhouse vocals into a fearless statement of resistance.

Pre-order the new album ‘Counterpoison’ now, out on October 24, 2025.

BIO

Synthpop/darkwave artist Brittany Bindrim is set to release her sophomore album, Counterpoison, in Fall 2025. The record delivers powerful, gritty, hard-hitting dance bangers alongside moody, ethereal ballads, and marks an even catchier, more melodically infectious evolution from her debut.

Brittany released her long-awaited debut solo album, Velella Velella, on March 8, 2024, via Metropolis Records. Already known for her catchy melodies and powerhouse vocals as the frontwoman of I:Scintilla, she explores an uncharted sonic terrain as a solo artist—delivering genre-bending, edgy tracks with punishing beats and abrasive synthesizers. Her solo project showcases both the depth and versatility of her artistry.

This new chapter of Brittany’s career delves deeper into new territory through her collaboration with producer Matt McJunkins (A Perfect Circle, Puscifer, Eagles of Death Metal, Poppy). Channeling themes of transformation, sociopolitical unrest, and the exploration of humanity’s darker facets, her vulnerable and unapologetic lyrics explore self-discovery, empathy, apathy, disillusionment, and growth.

But just when you think you've unraveled the depths of this album's introspective nature, the tempo shifts, and you find yourself amid a pulsating dance floor. This album effortlessly transitions between moods, surprising you at every turn and keeping you guessing what's next. As the final notes fade, you're left with a lingering sense of awe and wonder.

- The Spill Magazine

This album starts powerfully and well, like a trip that you now know you were always waiting for. And each new moment in that trip gives you every reason to write home and to want more. But it’s the end of that trip that cements this as one of the most effective musical journeys you will hear this decade, because even a great trip that leaves you wanting or wondering at the end will suffer because that is what you will remember. This should be vinyl. It should be a record that kills itself a little every time you play it, one that requires you to wait in line at Sam Goody’s one more time to get it all over again. Because by the end, it died for a good cause. I am clear about what I remember about this trip. And I think you will be too.

- ReGen Magazine

From beginning to end, Velella Velella stands out as a compelling work of dark electronic pop, encapsulating a range of themes from personal evolution to societal commentary. Through its varied musical landscapes and deep lyrical content, Bindrim’s creation surpasses genre confines, offering a nuanced reflection on contemporary life and showcasing her multifaceted artistic depth.

ONE FIXED POINT single & Video Out Now

Written and Composed: Brittany Bindrim

Mastered by: Ken "Hiwatt" Marshall
Recorded at: Secret Hand Studios

  • Dark fascination
    Deny the slow procession pace
    Realm of our creation
    Empire of the headspace
    One fixed point
    Radiant floating in this space
    Burns and shines
    Through a burden and a grace
     
    Rearrange the stars
    When the lights go out
    Betray the natural order
    From afar watch the fallout 
     
    Above it all we heard the call
    The echoes from the underground
    Droning on, descend to escape, feeling them surround 
    Saturated in fallen fantasies and now we’re spellbound
    Now we’re spellbound
     
    Necromancer
    Opened a portal of the mind
    Where there is an answer
    To end the question why
    Flickering light
    A possession by a dream
    The origin and ending
    Are never what they seem
     
    Rearrange the stars
    When the lights go out
    Betray the natural order
    From afar watch the fallout 
     
    A broken heart right from the start
    It echoes deep from underground
    Calling on, ascend to reshape, feeling the source pound 
    Recreated through inborn alchemy and now we’re spellbound
     
    Above it all we heard the call
    The echoes from the underground
    Droning on, descend to escape, feeling them surround 
    Saturated in fallen fantasies and now we’re spellbound
    Now we’re spellbound

RELEASE:
FRIDAY, February 23, 2024

“One Fixed Point” is a dreamy, mysterious, dark pop track that will have you falling head over heels. Brittany Bindrim’s third infectious single aims to capture the furthest depths of intoxicating infatuation and enchantment in finding one's counterpoint. Brittany Bindrim’s third single produced by Matt McJunkins (A Perfect Circle, Poppy, Puscifer) showcases her infectious songwriting and powerfully uplifting vocals. The single will also be released along with a beautifully celestial and retro-style video by Simona Noreik.

Be prepared to be spellbound by “One Fixed Point” on February 23, 2024, and with Brittany’s debut album Velella Velella March 8, 2024!


Brittany Bindrim: “One Fixed Point" - the third and most compelling single from 'Velella Velella' in my opinion, is a dark, dreamy love song about finding one's counterpoint. The track aims to capture the pinnacle of intoxicating infatuation and bliss – that ephemeral moment where one becomes entangled in the sublime joy of immersing oneself in another. It explores that delicate balance between losing yourself in the intensity of the shared moment and discovering a heightened sense of completeness.

Obelisk - Debut single

Electronic pop artist Brittany Bindrim released her debut single “Obelisk” on December 8, 2023 on Metropolis Records, along side a tragically beautiful, dystopian video by Simona Noreik. Already known for her catchy melodies and powerhouse vocal performances in her band I:Scintilla, she ventures off into foreign sonic terrains as a solo artist with the hard-hitting, edgy single featuring punishing beats and harsh synthesizers. This new chapter of Brittany’s career take her into experimental territories with producer Matt McJunkins (A Perfect Circle, Puscifer, Eagles of Death Metal, Poppy). In Obelisk, lyrically Brittany explores themes of tribalism, political divides, collective trauma, and surrendering to peace. Within the music, there is interplay between the lyrical surrender and the harder edged, percussive musical elements. Keep your eyes peeled for her album drop on March 8, 2024.

Brittany Bindrim: “Lyrically, Obelisk explores themes of tribalism, political divides, collective trauma, and surrendering to peace. Within the music, there is interplay between the lyrical surrender and the harder edged, percussive musical elements. When writing Obelisk, the heavier drums and the main driving bass synth line were written first which then inspired the pleading vocal melody. I had previously written a lyrical seedling that was close to what ended up in the chorus lines, which I thought fit perfectly and helped spawn the rest of the lyrics in conjunction with the harder, marching energy of music. But the songwriting process of each song on this album was a little different track to track. Some songs were spawned from a vocal or lyrical idea, and on a few tracks a synth melody and vocal were first written together all at once. In the end, I didn’t try to force ideas or over-think things, so each song on the album developed very naturally and instinctively."
