Italian Darkwavers Soft Scent Arrive Late to the Funeral Party in Video for No Flowers in June

Italian darkwave duo Soft Scent, formed in 2023 by Anna “MissLucifer” and Sara “Felina Noir” in Italy’s Marche region, released “No Flowers in June,” the first single from their forthcoming second album Mother’s Ruin. The track explores the emotional space between a relationship’s actual ending and the moment of recognition, using a frantic bassline and pressing synths that draw on coldwave, old EBM, post-punk, and electronic elements. The song avoids theatrical tragedy, maintaining dark-disco poise while conveying hurt through restraint. The accompanying video features the band on a shadow-drenched stage with purple lighting, candles, and flowers. The album title references the Victorian name for gin, framing themes of comfort and damage. Recorded with Gianluca Lo Presti and mixed and mastered by William Faith, the single retains an unfriendly quality characteristic of good dark music. Mother’s Ruin is expected in late 2026.
