Black Cashmere: The Story of an Energy Vampire
“Black Cashmere: The Story of an Energy Vampire” is the highly anticipated upcoming album by Michael Van London, set for release on March 28, 2025. The album explores the concept of an “energy vampire”—a being that thrives by drawing energy from others—drawing inspiration from mythology, psychology, and personal introspection.
Leading up to the album’s release, Michael has unveiled several singles that provide a glimpse into its thematic depth and sonic landscape:
• “South Carolina Eyes” – The debut single introduces listeners to the album’s emotional and atmospheric journey.
• “You Drive In Circles” – Released in April 2024, this track coincided with significant lunar events, amplifying its ethereal essence.
• “AAOOMB (Alone Again/Out of My Body)” – Dropped on Beltane, a pagan festival of transformation, this song explores themes of detachment and personal evolution.
• “Little Step” – Premiering on July 4, 2024, this track reflects on self-discovery and personal growth.
• “There’s a Vortex in My House” – Released in August 2024, this song deepens the album’s narrative, offering a hypnotic exploration of inner turmoil and haunting revelations.
At its core, Black Cashmere examines the corrosive nature of vengeance—how the pursuit of retribution can spiral into self-deception, alienation, and the erosion of one’s own integrity. The album’s fourteen original tracks weave together Michael Van London’s signature musicality with compelling storytelling, guiding listeners through an odyssey of heartbreak, transformation, and reckoning with the shadows within.
It is a meditation on the fine line between power and self-destruction, asking:
Are you the dark master, or merely the architect of your own downfall?
