Cissné Announce Debut EP ‘Awake Children Under the Moon’

Emerging heavy experimental trio Cissné announce their debut EP Awake Children Under the Moon, releasing April 10 via Lauren Records. Alongside the announcement, the Tokyo-based band share the EP’s lead single, “water lily,” available now on all major streaming platforms.

Awake Children Under the Moon unfolds as a single cinematic arc, drifting through screamo, post-black metal, ambient, and shoegaze with a sense of nocturnal unease. Dedicated to anyone who learned how to endure the night before learning how to sleep, the EP captures moments spent awake beneath a distant moon.

Built around a hazy blackgaze core, “water lily” seals unspoken emotions and inner conflict inside a quiet science-fiction narrative. The song introduces another lifeform encountered by a lone protagonist living on Mercury – a meeting suspended between hope and isolation. Whether the story resolves in tenderness or tragedy is left to the listener’s interpretation.
