Bragolin is a Dutch dark wave/post-punk project led by Edwin van der Velde, known for its strong melodic hooks present on gothic dance floors worldwide. Drawing from ’80s Bass VI lines, ’60s and ’70s organs, and ’90s shoegaze guitars, Bragolin blends vintage and modern elements into a sound inspired by post-apocalyptic and horror cinema. The project takes its name from Italian painter Giovanni Bragolin, famed for his “Crying Boy” paintings.
The debut album I Saw Nothing Good So I Left (2018) featured the track Into Those Woods, which is now a modern- day dance floor classic. The song surpassed 10 million all-time streams in 2025, establishing Bragolin as a consistent presence within the global dark wave and gothic scene. In 2019, van der Velde collaborated with fellow Dutch artist Adam Tristar on the second album Let Out The Noise Inside, which leaned further into electronic and synth-based production.
In 2026, Bragolin releases the new album I Don’t Like What It Does To Me, unfolding in gradually revealed chapters. Building on the project’s signature sound, the record combines Bass VI melodies, organ lines, and rich atmospheric production. Field recordings, synthetic ocean textures, water-phones, and experimental sound sources create a layered, immersive listening experience. The album features Feel This Flame Unfold, a duet with dark wave artist Carrellee.
Carrellee overlays delicately sensual vocals over a wall of scorched synths and processed tapes. She had some help crafting her noir synth-pop sound from co-producer Brett Bullion (Low, Poliça, Bad Bad Hats.) Carrellee turned to the microKORG and Yamaha DX7 synths after finding the folk music she had been doing to fall a bit flat in expressing the intensity of the year, including going through a divorce with her personal and musical partner.
