Black Nail Cabaret - Emerald City

Review by Mariia D

Emerald City, the latest album by Black Nail Cabaret, is a mesmerizing blend of darkwave, synthpop, and electronic music. The Hungarian duo, Emese Arvai-Illes and Krisztian Arvai, have created an album that is both haunting and danceable, with lyrics that are introspective and provocative.

From the opening track, "Maelstrom," with its pulsating beats and haunting vocals, to the closing track, "Anesthetic," with its dreamy synth melodies and introspective lyrics, Emerald City is a journey through the dark and mysterious world of Black Nail Cabaret. The album is filled with hypnotic rhythms, lush synth textures, and Emese's ethereal vocals, which add a touch of vulnerability and emotion to the music.

Tracks like "Satisfaction" and "Stereotype" are catchy and danceable, with infectious hooks and driving beats. "Sorrow" and "The Things You Said" are slower, more introspective tracks, with Emese's vocals taking center stage and drawing the listener in with their emotional depth.
