KRAKóW LOVES ADANA DON'T ASK WHY

We've been enchanted by Hamburg duo Kraków Loves Adana's melancholy-steeped synth pop since the arrival of 'Young Again' back in March. New single 'Don't Ask Why' delves deeper into the void and requests that we don't get too close. Evoking a sense of purpose, warm arpeggiators allude to a longer journey, sonically and psychologically. Contrasting glistening top lines with borderline dead-pan vocal delivery that shine with authenticity. Singer Deniz Çiçek explains: "There have been moments in my life where I felt safest in my own darkness, isolated from the rest of the world. 'Don't Ask Why' describes the moment when you step outside of this comfort zone, see things from a different perspective & come to terms with your sadness."Kraków Loves Adana's new album Darkest Dreams will arrive via Italians Do It Better on the 25th of September. -Holly Mullineaux
