YouTube / Spotify

"A twisted take on a romantic cut, all-consuming lust and love are contemplated by the artist as she explores the toxic and dangerous emotions that can arise during the throes of obsession. To deliver this intense set of lyrics, D’Arcy lends her haunting vocal tone and a stirring, atmospheric production to the track, making it one sure to send listeners into a trance."
- Wonderland

"Badass, confident, and a little tongue-in-cheek, NYC rocker D’Arcy tells it like it is."
- Flaunt

"If you like Billie Eilish or Lorde, you’re bound to like NYC-based indie act D'Arcy. Coming in with her dark and alternative pop sounds, she’s making her presence known and offering a unique take on the genre that's setting her apart from the aforementioned artists."
- EARMILK

"The type of pounding nocturnal alt pop that acts as the perfect complement to both a neon-lit night out or an introspective drive"
- Under The Radar

"A fierce alt-rock winner that hones summer playlist poignancy"
- Glide

Today, NYC singer-songwriter D'Arcy shares a brand new single entitled "Crazy," alongside an accompanying music video.

Speaking on the track, D'Arcy wrote:

"'Crazy' is about falling in love with someone and being transported into a different world where just the two of you exist. It is about wanting to feel that intense emotion no matter the cost, which sometimes can result in darkness. I really wanted the lyrics to capture what it feels like to really fall in love for the first time, where your whole world becomes this other person and you would do anything to keep that feeling alive."

On its music video, she continued:

"We spent a whole night and day shooting this video in and around Los Angeles. Is it a dream ? Is it real ? The character in the video is based on the female lead of a movie script I’m currently developing. Collaborating with director Mynxii White, she really helped me capture the fantasy elements that show the intensity of emotion the character is experiencing."

D'Arcy's debut EP, Hard to Kill, came out last year. The EP consists of six tracks, including three that are new: "Forever Numb," "Dangerous," and title track "Hard to Kill." Thematically, the EP focuses on self-empowerment, young love, addiction, and heartbreak. At times dark and moody, and at times strong and powerful, Hard to Kill is imbued with honesty, attitude and confidence, taking the listener through a range of emotions, sounds and narratives.

RÖYKSOPP’S PROFOUND MYSTERIES OUT NOW

"Profound Mysteries… lives up to Röyksopp’s reputation as a duo that has perfected the art of dishing out electronic hugs… they stay on the right side of arty party and continue to attract veterans, as well as visually stimulated newbies, to the wavy ocean of Nordic electronica." - LINE OF BEST FIT, 8/10 review

"With the idea of the studio album being questioned and the place of pop music in our culture – as well as blurring the boundaries of pop music and pop art – being assessed, work like Profound Mysteries elevates the conversation. But most importantly, the music on Profound Mysteries doesn’t struggle or collapse under the weight of Röyksopp’s artistic ambitions: the music is some of their canniest and most absorbing.” - POPMATTERS, 9/10 review

“Röyksopp have birthed an engaging, expressive multi media universe suspended in digital mystery, a sum of many components meticulously executed. Profound Mysteries truly captures the imagination, and excitingly hints at the next leg of this perceptual voyage: Simply 'Press R' to continue…” - CLASH, 9/10 review

“What’s undeniable is that Röyksopp has lost none of its rightfully earned early-2000s cachet, nor its connection with film and technology.” - FLOOD

Almost eight years since their last album, Röyksopp have returned with an expansive new project, the much anticipated Profound Mysteries, which is available today. Profound Mysteries is an ambitious mix of music and conceptual art. Every month since January 1st, 2022 Röyksopp have revealed an installment from Profound Mysteries, created collaboratively with a multitude of artists.

“As human beings, what we don’t know vastly overshadows what we do know. As teenagers, we would discuss our own fascination and preoccupation with the infinite and the impossible – the most profound mysteries of life.” - Svein Berge & Torbjørn Brundtland

Today, all 10 installments are revealed as a body of work that includes sonic collaborations with Alison Goldfrapp (Impossible - which went straight on to the A-List at BBC6 Music), Astrid S (Breathe), and Susanne Sundfør (If You Want Me), each accompanied by a short film created by a director from one of Europe’s premier film production companies; Bacon. In addition to directing (Nothing But) Ashes... themselves, Röyksopp have worked with nine of Bacon’s internationally acclaimed directors, including Andreas Nilsson and Martin de Thurah, to bring each track from Profound Mysteries to life. An artefact and visualizer for each build the Profound Mysteries immersive universe further, created by Australian contemporary artist Jonathan Zawada.
