A moody darkwave pull consumes throughout “Say Hello to the Void for Me,” a new track from Eddie Wrevlonne, the bedroom-pop solo project of vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter Edward Wagner (from the projects Wrevlonne and Hearts Fail). Impressing with the single “I Have Learned” this summer, with a melding of brooding synth-pop and guitar-touched enthusiasm, Eddie Wrevlonne continues to excel in both atmospheric prowess and melodic immediacy here.
Per the artist, “Say Hello to the Void for Me” plays with perseverant qualities — emitting a sense of triumph in the face of tumult and darkness. ““Say Hello to the Void for Me” faces the pull of depression with motion and melody,” Wagner says. “It’s about dancing through the void, finding warmth in the static.” The dynamics of illuminated synths and nocturnal post-punk rhythms engross throughout, as does biting lyrical wit: “Say hello to the void for me, it’s been awhile. Let’s see that smile when suicide kings meet drama queens.” The track is another standout from Eddie Wrevlonne, coming ahead of his EP, Bright Lights / Low Lives.
