Mareux’s Dark Summer Love Letter: Nonstop Romance

When Mareux announced the release of their sophomore album Nonstop Romance—a “confessional darkwave” of sorts—you better believe I was on the edge of my seat for its release. Mareux, the brainchild of Aryan Ashtiani, effortlessly blends goth and darkwave in a romantic way that lingers like a drunken love you can’t quite shake off even if you tried ( I’m currently still in that stuck phase). Since breaking through with the viral favorite “A Perfect Girl,” the project has garnered a loyal following that extends far beyond social media—onto foggy highways, into late-night bedrooms, and across dark dance floors. Nonstop Romance is no different and is well on its way to becoming the soundtrack of a passionate summer.
