This time of year, the veil is thin. We can feel the connection with the other side… those who have gone before us. Hold your loved ones close to your heart as you remember them. They may just visit you in a dream to check in… - Leslie, @mourningcandle.bsky.social 🕯️

Luxe dark synth and a silky, soothing voice that evokes Cocteau Twins… @srsq.bsky.social you almost made us cry at Nightshade Festival! 🥹💜

Since seeing Night in Athens live at Nightshade Festival in Chattanooga two weekends ago, I’m obsessed with this song: “Words Unspoken.” It’s absolutely beautiful and haunting #darkwave #gothicmusic with #postpunk influences. Thanks to #NightShadeFestival promoters #UnknownPleasures for this show! 🙌

Nashville is lucky to have @generaltrust.bsky.social in its midst! What a fantastic performance for Fascination Street (at The East Room) last week!
