BRITTANY BINDRIM RELEASES NEW SINGLE “HUNTING IN THE DARK” - A darkwave dance-floor banger from Her Upcoming Album Counterpoison

Darkwave/synthpop powerhouse Brittany Bindrim unveils her new single “Hunting In The Dark” today ahead of her sophomore album Counterpoison (out October 24, 2025).

Big beats, chills, and thrills—“Hunting In The Dark” is a darkwave dance-floor banger that transforms heavy moments into pure energy and positivity. With Driven by pulse-pounding rhythms, infectious hooks, and vocals that refuse to be dimmed, it’s about finding light (and maybe a little mischief) in the shadows.

This uplifting single will be released Friday, September 19th along side a trippy visualizer video. Produced with Matt McJunkins (A Perfect Circle, Puscifer), “Hunting In The Dark” paves the way for Brittany Bindrim’s full ‘Counterpoison’ album rollout on October 24.

Key Credits:

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

  • 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.

  • I could no longer find myself

    So lost, lost in your roaring flames

    I’ve been scorned

    I was scorched and wary 
But now I’m free from all the violent games

     

    It was so fickle

    Ring the bell

    Salivate to the chime

    Calling on every line

    It wasn’t real

    But it looked so good when you’re blind

    Fell for it every time

     

    You - longing for a blaze

    Chasing another

    Looking for the dead to raise

    Hunting in the dark

     

    I’ve been locked up inside myself for so long

    No one else that I can blame

    I’ve been scorned

    I was scorched and wary 
But now I call the demon by its name

     

    It was so fickle

    Ring the bell

    Salivate to the chime

    Calling on every line

    It wasn’t real

    The mirage looks good in your mind

    Fell for it every time

     

    You - longing for a blaze

    Chasing another

    Looking for the dead to raise

    Hunting in the dark 

    Chasing another spark

    Hunting in the dark 

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.

EVER SO SLOWLY MUSIC VIDEO

Video by Simona Noreik • Released 8/15/25

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.
