“If nothing saves us from death, may love at least save us from life.”
“Si nada nos salva de la muerte, al menos que el amor nos salve de la vida.”
-Pablo Neruda
Night Tongue are a darkwave art band based out of Los Angeles. They are an eclectic genre-bending band that incorporates multiple styles including post-punk, southern gothic, shoegaze, doom metal, goth rock, dark jazz, soul, folk, world and classical music to build mythic worlds. The band is led by songwriting/composition duo Carisa Bianca Mellado (vocals, bass, synth) and Andrew Dalziell (vocals, guitar, cello, drums), both originally from Australia. They are joined by Elle Haert (synth, keys, vocals) and Jessica Reuter (drums, vocals).
Night Tongue use mythic themes to explore the depths of human nature, sexuality, spirituality, vulnerability, desire, trauma and the cycles of life and death. In both film composition and songwriting, the band searches for ways to push boundaries as they seek new ways to explore music and themselves.
