A bellow is the raw announcement of need, the body turning pressure into sound. A bellows is need made mechanical, disciplined into rhythm: expand, contract, receive, surrender. Its wisdom lies in reciprocity. Nothing is filled without some neighboring chamber giving way; breath becomes possible through alternating loss. Stranger still, one modest instrument may animate an entire organ, feeding many pipes from a single lung. The image flatters neither independence nor abundance. It suggests that vitality is borrowed, transferred, and timed. What seems like emptiness may be preparation, and what sounds like grandeur may begin in one hidden fold of air.

Darkwave artist Brittany Bindrim will release “Bellow”, a new single, on 21 July 2026 through her own Black Dove Music imprint. It is her first new single since the 2025 album “Counterpoison” and will be available on Bandcamp from the release date.

Bindrim describes “Bellow” as a darkwave track built on an ethereal vocal over a driving pulse. Matt McJunkins, of A Perfect Circle and Puscifer, produced and mixed the single at Secret Hand Studios in Los Angeles, and Ken “Hiwatt” Marshall handled the mastering.

Less than a year since the release of her sophomore record, Brittany Bindrim is back with today’s release of her latest single, titled “Bellow.” Bindrim explains that the song inhabits the duality of reciprocal motion, reflecting the breath of a cry – a bellow – wherein “nothing fills except as something else empties.” She carries the metaphor in the lyrics about broken parts reassembling into something greater as they encounter their mirror selves, further depicted by the repeating sequences of the accompanying visualizer, shot by Jim Cookas and directed by Bindrim. The artist describes the song as “Dreamy, driving, deeper,” with the song and video taking on a psychedelic electro-pop vibe, produced and mixed by Matt McJunkins, and mastered by Ken “Hiwatt” Marshall. The “Bellow” single is now available on Bandcamp and streaming services, following up on the Counterpoison album released in October of 2025, which also featured McJunkins and Marshall in the same respective roles.

Brittany Bindrim’s album Counterpoison has landed on the Deutsche Alternative Charts (DAC): it’s currently #4 on the DAC Album Charts (Week 2, 2026), with 156 points, released via Black Dove Music. The record previously sat at #5 last week and has reached a peak position of #4 so far.

The last two years have been quite a whirlwind for Brittany Bindrim as the I:Scintilla frontwoman has made considerable strides as a solo artist. 2024 saw the release of her widely acclaimed Velella Velella album, which served as a strong showcase for her dynamic vocals and her stylistic versatility – equal parts electro, industrial, synthpop, darkwave, with entrancing melodies and ambient passages that immersed her listeners in the otherworldly embrace of her creative vision. Live performances and remixes followed, with this year bringing forth her Counterpoison follow-up, already exhibiting evolutionary steps toward something wholly her own. The DNA of her first album and her past work in I:Scintilla still resonates, but with a renewed sense of purpose and sharper focus, with themes both universal and intimate, assertive yet vulnerable, and above all, catchy as hell! ReGen is thrilled to have had the opportunity to speak with Brittany Bindrim about the development of her solo artistry, working with esteemed producer and musician Matt McJunkins, performing live, the visual aesthetics of her latest album, and more!

Darkwave/synthpop powerhouse Brittany Bindrim unveils “Counterpoison” an album that fuses cinematic atmosphere with punishing beats, heavy synths, and emotionally charged vocals.

Counterpoison is not a record that asks for your trust, it earns it through fire and fracture. Chicago artist Brittany Bindrim drags darkwave through the wreckage of modernity, tempering its metallic sheen with something rawer, angrier, and defiantly human. Where her last offering, Velella Velella, floated like a fever dream, Counterpoison clenches its teeth: every synth line a blade, every beat a blow struck against paralysis. It is a work born from confrontation: with power, with self, with the seductive toxins of apathy and control.

Today, darkwave/synthpop powerhouse Brittany Bindrim unveils “Counterpoison” an album that fuses cinematic atmosphere with punishing beats, heavy synths, and emotionally charged vocals. It marks a grittier, faster-paced evolution from Brittany Bindrim’s 2024 debut “Velella Velella,” diving deep into themes of duality, resistance, and renewal. At its core, “Counterpoison” is about transformation — an antidote to the toxins that corrode both individually and collectively.

https://electrozombies.com/music/discover/brittany-bindrim-warplane/ - Dirty synth pads and scraping industrial sounds plow through “Warplane.” Even the first drum beat feels like an impact — raw, vibrating, uncompromising. For me, the dynamic between Brittany Bindrim's voice and the instruments is like the difference in elevation between a valley and a mountain peak: powerful, restless, but never chaotic. When she sings, an almost physical pressure settles over the metallic texture. It is this tension that carries “Warplane” – a song that simultaneously attracts and decomposes.

The driving intro to ‘Ever So Slowly’ by Brittany Bindrim initially sounds like the starting gun for a dynamic synth pop fireworks display – but after the first few beats, I realise that the song is deliberately playing with my expectations. What sounds like the prelude to a dance track surprisingly sticks to a slow beat, almost like a ballad. For me, the depth of this slow burner only really unfolds after several listens.

Bindrim opens her album ‘Counterpoison’ with ‘Ever So Slowly’ and takes a bold step: instead of working with catchy hooks from the outset, she relies on a dirty, intense tonality that is very much in the spirit of Depeche Mode's ‘Barrel Of A Gun’ (Ultra). The sounds are multi-layered and invite me to savour every detail – from the powerful bassline to the deep synths that create a dark, almost oppressive atmosphere.

With her sophomore album due to arrive later this year, Brittany Bindrim has unveiled the video for “Ever So Slowly” as its second single. The artist explains the song to be “a chilling indictment of ideological decay,” delivered in her own allegorical style amid sharpened synths and aggressive beats to immerse the listener in a darkened and hook-laden atmosphere suitable for the dancefloor. Mirroring its authoritarian themes, the video was created by Simona Noreik, with Bindrim performing in silhouette against animated images of a mystical yet cybernetic nature. “Ever So Slowly” follows up on the “Spiral Out” single revealed in July, both to be featured on the forthcoming Counterpoison album; produced and mixed by Matt McJunkins, with mastering by Ken “Hiwatt” Marshall, the album will be released on October 24 in digital, CD, and vinyl formats, available to pre-order now on Bandcamp. Counterpoison is Brittany Bindrim’s second solo effort after 2024’s Velella Velella.

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.

Darkwave/synthpop powerhouse Brittany Bindrim returns with “Spiral Out,” the explosive first single from her forthcoming sophomore album Counterpoison Driven by gritty guitars, pulsing basslines, and soaring vocals, “Spiral Out” is a high-octane, genre-bending anthem that pulls listeners into its dark, kinetic orbit and refuses to let go. The track’s infectious energy is underscored by a chilling message—a razor-sharp allegory for manipulation, institutional control, and psychological subjugation. Produced by Matt McJunkins (A Perfect Circle, Puscifer, Poppy, Eagles of Death Metal), this single marks the beginning of a bold new era for Bindrim, who made her solo debut with the critically praised Velella Velella (Metropolis Records) in 2024. Already celebrated as the dynamic frontwoman of I:Scintilla, she steps further into her own sonic world with Counterpoison, which will be released on October 24th and is now available for pre-order. The upcoming record explores transformation, empowerment, and the shadows of the human psyche, cementing Bindrim’s voice as both visceral and vital in the modern darkpop landscape. Whether you’re spiraling out or clawing your way back in, “Spiral Out” is the soundtrack to reclaiming your power.
