Blood Handsome, the L.A.-based dark synth outfit, has released the single “Abandon” through Strict Tempo, marking their first release in over three years. The track features a gothic, gloomy atmosphere suitable for the dancefloor, exploring themes of romantic doom. This single serves as the lead for their upcoming untitled album, set to drop this September, following their previous works, including 2022’s A New Calm and 2020’s Rituals. Founder Gerren Reach collaborates with NYC DJ/producer Mark Cage for live performances.
