Darkswoon - Antivenom

Antivenom is the fourth full-length from Portland melancholic dark alternative trio Darkswoon, refining their emotionally charged blend of darkwave, post-punk, and shoegaze into a focused, immersive statement. Built on a hardware-driven electronic foundation, the album balances cold mechanical textures with an intimate human core, anchored by Jana Cushman’s ethereally soaring vocals. Lyrically confronting loss, anxiety, fear, and inequality with unflinching honesty, the record weaves Norah Lynn’s melodic yet gritty basslines through Rachel Ellis’ propulsive rhythms and Cushman’s dense, atmospheric guitar work, lingering in unresolved emotion and quiet defiance while solidifying Darkswoon’s distinct voice.
