Gloaming

The band The Vegan Leather has released a new single, Gloaming, with strong Brontë connections according to The Daily Record:

The band - which is comprised of Marie Collins and Gianluca Bernacchi on vocals and guitar, Matthew McGoldrick on bass and Duncan Carswell on drums - were inspired to write the song after reading Emily Brontë’s famous novel Wuthering Heights.
Lead singer Marie said: “We had been sitting on the tune for a while and had got it sounding quite dark and mysterious. I always felt transported to another world when I listened to it.
“It was around the same time that I started reading Wuthering Heights.
“A big portion of the book is set in wild an
d untamed landscapes and this really got me thinking about the song.
“I started to envision that same atmosphere - the song needed to be set somewhere gloomy, dark, mystical, half-visible and that’s how I got to the word ‘gloaming’.
“The song sort of became a kind of monologue of a menacing narrator trying to entice someone into the wilderness with them.”
“In Wuthering Heights, Cathy always seems to run to the moors to seek solace whenever she’s feeling overwhelmed, but it always feels like there’s something sinister lurking.
“Gloaming then turned into a song about being led astray when all you’re looking for is comfort.
“It’s about being led into your own darkness, following your inner demons, but still retaining that bit of light and goodness inside of you.” (Carla Talbot)
