Desire have announced the release of their new upcoming album Games People Play, slated to drop later this year on Italians Do It Better. This marks the bands third studio LP, which follows 2009’s self titled record. Along with the news Desire have also shared their latest track titled ‘Darkside’.

‘Darkside’ is a mellow and dreamy offering of dreampop, laced with an 80s synth flair. Like previous songs, the track has a cinematic feel that would match many cult or even blockbuster films.

Regarding the single, Desire mentioned:

“The song is about the invisible line we draw between our outer reality & our inner world. The darkside is a meatphor for the unmasked internal space that we rarely share with strangers. A secret realm that never sees the light of day. On the endless hunt for love, we crave a deeper connection that can only come with truth. The mirror sees you…on the darkside. Crash into the starlight.”
