CARV.R and Casey Desmond Release New Song

Dark synth-pop artist CARV.R and Casey Desmond released the single and accompanying video for their new song “Struck” on December 10th. CARV.R (Cristian Carver), known as the drummer for Bella Morte and dark alternative band MAN1K1N, blends elements of modern synth pop, electronic bass music, and witch house inspired soundscapes. Casey Desmond is as an award-winning vocalist, songwriter, and producer who competed on Season One of The Voice. Her songs include “Déjà vu” and “Settle the Score”.

The song features airy, haunting vocals by Desmond. These are overlayed on top of a multi-layer synthesizer backing produced by CARV.R. The music and vocals combine to form an otherworldly sound that is depicted in the music video. The video has a fantasy theme with Desmond playing a demon seductress who in the end kills her male prey.

“‘Struck’ is what we consider to be the silver lining from a time when both Casey and I were going through the loss of friends,” shares CARV.R. “For me, ‘Struck’ became a reminder to always live life as fully as I can on my own terms because it is fleeting and fragile. Casey was able to direct the energy of her own loss in a positive way through her heart wrenching lyrics. I am grateful that her performance complimented my production beautifully and we were able to come together and transmute our experiences into this collaboration.”

Adds Casey: “Without a doubt, every one of us has tasted the flavor of betrayal. In the case of ‘Struck,’ it’s the guttural, abusive, and heart-wrenching kind. The lyrics invoke the essence of deep personal experience while remaining relatively ambiguous and socially applicable. When one is facing down the reality of the death of a relationship, they must do so through forgiveness or risk a lifetime of the aftermath. It’s at the crossroad that we battle our own consciousness and morals.”

“Struck” is now available on streaming. It is also available for purchase at carvr.bandcamp.com. Check out CARV.R and Casey Desmond at the links below.
