Analogue Trash - New Music: Brittany Bindrim – Spiral Out
Industrial and EBM make their presence known in a vivid, high-powered fashion on Spiral Out, the first single from Brittany Bindrim’s upcoming Counterpoison album. If the single is any indicator, the LP is shaping up to be an unmissable one for fans of both those genres. Though Spiral Out does have a stronger industrial rock presence than electronic, there’s enough of the latter for the track to be at home both on the dance floor and at your local rock club.

Though Spiral Out does have a stronger industrial rock presence than electronic, there’s enough of the latter for the track to be at home both on the dance floor and at your local rock club.
Bindrim’s high-energy vocals also bridge that potential divide, as soothing, gritty, and upfront as the song’s call-to-arms against authoritarian creep and corporate greed dictates.
Counterpoison is set for release on the 24th of October and can be pre-ordered in vinyl and CD formats on Bandcamp.
Bindrim makes an appearance at COLD WAVES XIII in Chicago this September. For venue details and the latest album news, head to Brittany Bindrum’s Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram socials.

Post-Punk - Darkwave doyenne Brittany Bindrim resurfaces with Spiral Out, the searing lead single from her imminent sophomore album, Counterpoison. Bindrim’s latest cuts through with razor-edged guitars, visceral basslines, and vocals that rise like smoke above city lights, drawing listeners into its hypnotic whirlpool.
Spiral Out distills the sinister dynamics of manipulation and coercion into sharp allegorical venom. Themes of toxic power dynamics, destructive dependency, and psychological games permeate every verse, framing a darkly thrilling invitation to confront personal demons head-on, while subtly exposing the calculated cruelty beneath superficial gestures of comfort. It’s a furious indictment of tyrannical menace and the creeping reach of commercial control.
Bindrim herself emphasizes the urgency: “It’s a chilling allegory of manipulation, control, and psychological subjugation and is a rallying cry against authoritarian creep and corporate greed.”
A self-directed lyric video accompanies the release, visually mirroring the track’s kinetic intensity. The bold graphics flash with an almost confrontational directness. It’s a call-to-arms wrapped in neon and shadow, daring listeners to confront and resist the invisible chains they didn’t realize bound them.
Dive into the visual firestorm of “Spiral Out” below:
Brittany Bindrim’s solo journey began with 2024’s Velella Velella, released via Metropolis Records. Known for her commanding vocals and magnetic stage presence as the frontwoman of I:Scintilla, Bindrom ventures into bold new sonic territory: melding punishing beats, abrasive synths, and genre-defying arrangements. Spiral Out, produced by Matt McJunkins (A Perfect Circle, Poppy, Puscifer), is both a fierce catharsis and a rallying cry.
Listen to Spiral Out below and pre-order Counterpoison, out on October 24, 2025, here.

post-punk.com - Industrial-Pop Siren Brittany Bindrim Unleashes Maelstrom of Remixes w/ “Sea Storm Maestros”
In a landscape saturated with posturing and repetition, Brittany Bindrim, a lynchpin of Chicago’s Industrial Darkwave enclave with I:Scintilla, takes the plunge into deeper waters on her new remix EP, Sea Storm Maestros. A reimagining of tracks from her solo debut, Velella Velella, this EP isn’t just a collection of remixes—it’s a reshaping, a mutiny against the boundaries of the original compositions. Bindrim excavates the raw nerve endings of human consciousness and the fetid air of modern disillusionment, pulling them to the surface with an artistry that oscillates between tender introspection and abrasive corrosion.
In a landscape saturated with posturing and repetition, Brittany Bindrim, a lynchpin of Chicago’s Industrial Darkwave enclave with I: Scintilla, takes the plunge into deeper waters on her new remix EP, Sea Storm Maestros. A reimagining of tracks from her solo debut, Velella Velella, this EP isn’t just a collection of remixes—it’s a reshaping, a mutiny against the boundaries of the original compositions. Bindrim excavates the raw nerve endings of human consciousness and the fetid air of modern disillusionment, pulling them to the surface with an artistry that oscillates between tender introspection and abrasive corrosion.
If Velella Velella was an odyssey through the wreckage of self-awareness and societal rot, Sea Storm Maestros disassembles that ship and sets the parts adrift on new, choppier seas. These remixes don’t just tweak a beat or add a synth line; they deconstruct and rebuild, often thrusting the songs into entirely new dimensions—resulting into bold recontextualizations that allows each track to bloom, wilt, or mutate depending on the ears they fall upon.
Bindrim’s choice of remixers reads like a who’s who of electronic and industrial insurgents: Matt McJunkins (A Perfect Circle, Puscifer, The Beta Machine), Walter Flakus of Stabbing Westward, Daniel Myer (Haujobb, Covenant), Cyanotic, the boundless, and Greg Panciera. Each brings their own arsenal of textures and intentions, injecting new life and threat into the originals.
McJunkins’ reimagining of “Atlas” sets the tone, recasting the track’s brooding atmosphere with a cyberpunk urgency reminiscent of a ‘90s dystopia that never was. Walter Flakus’ “Stabwalt Remix” of “Cast” yanks the track into an abrasive industrial landscape, evoking a sonic tension somewhere between Bowie’s Outside and Reznor’s Downward Spiral. The transformation feels like a psychological scalpel peeling back layers, exposing the throbbing core beneath.
The Boundless Remix of “Volcano” takes a different approach, filtering the original through a Celtic-tinged techno lens—distant, buzzing, and eerily mechanized. It’s a remix that sits at the crossroads of rave euphoria and ritualistic dance. Meanwhile, Cyanotic’s version of “One Fixed Point” oozes with a nod to Ray of Light-era Madonna, yet somehow, it feels more sinister, like a reflection of glitter refracted through a dirty puddle in an alley.
The EP reaches a different height with Panciera’s take on “Obelisk,” where the lead single from Velella Velella is doused in alternative rock grit, layered in a way that bends the track’s original meaning towards something more primal and direct. The closer, Daniel Myer’s remix of “Currents,” bathes in an industrial melancholia that is sultry yet bruised, a fitting end to an EP that thrives on its ability to unsettle while drawing you in.
Sea Storm Maestros is more than a collection of remixes; it’s a dialogue between artists and sound, between what is known and what could be. It is an invitation to dive deeper into the storm and emerge either enlightened or engulfed.

interview by john wisniewski for MK ULTRA Magazine
Synth pop artist + composer Brittany Bindrim released her long-awaited debut album Velella Velella on March 8, 2024 on Metropolis Records. 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 hard-hitting, edgy tracks featuring punishing beats and harsh synthesizers. From moody, ethereal ballads to gritty dance bangers, Velella Velella showcases both the versatility and evolution of her work. This new chapter of Brittany’s career takes her into experimental territories with producer Matt McJunkins (A Perfect Circle, Puscifer, Eagles of Death Metal, Poppy). Channeling transformation, sociopolitical climates, and expeditions to understand the darker side of human nature, her vulnerable and unapologetic lyrics showcase themes of self-discovery, empathy, apathy, disillusionment, and growth.

LupOnAir: micro-intervista: BRITTANY BINDRIM
1. Tell us something about "Atlas - Matt McJunkins Remix", the track we aired.
Matt McJunkin's remix of "Atlas" is one of my favorites off of 'Sea Storm Maestros' because of his creative reimagining of the ballad, as well as the unexpectedly bonkers breakdown / outro! The original track was the last song I wrote on 'Velella Velella'. It just decided to show up out of the ether and it came together in 10 minutes while I was putting the finishing touches on the rest of the tunes.
2. Have you got patience enough?
Copious amounts... probably too much!
3. Suggest us a record we surely don't know.
'Dead Inside' by The Golden Palominos. The 1996 record is a dark, avant-garde collaboration between the band's founder Anton Fier and spoken-word poet Nicole Blackman. Blackman’s raw and haunting lyrics are set against moody, atmospheric instrumentals. I'd say it's an acquired taste... but brilliant!
