Darkwave duo, Johnathan|Christian return with “Where Do We Go From Here”—a brooding, cinematic post-election anthem that captures the emotional wreckage of a divided nation. The track opens in hushed reflection (90 BPM) and erupts into a 125 BPM pulse of unrest and reluctant clarity. No slogans. Just aftermath.
The video integrates footage from Maya Deren’s At Land—a woman lies on a beach, disoriented yet unbroken, before rising with quiet resolve. What begins in poetic isolation transforms into documentary collapse: flickering headlines, divided families, shuttered classrooms, and hands reaching—but not always finding. It opens with: “We Still Remain.” It ends with: “WE STILL RISE.”
“We didn’t want spectacle—we wanted aftermath,” says the band. “No fire. No fury. Just a reckoning in the ruins.”
Included in the release are: a 125 BPM DJ Edit for live mixing and DJ sets, and remixes by industrial supergroup, The Joy Thieves and Stoneburner’s Steven Archer. Also included is the track, “Fall from Grace” – a short, ghostly instrumental layered with static and decay; a requiem for what was, and a reflection on what remains.
For fans of Peter Murphy, Human Drama, Laibach, New Order, and politically-driven dance stompers.

Johnathan|Christian is a transatlantic goth/post-punk duo formed by composer/producer, Johnathan Mooney (Los Angeles) and vocalist/lyricist, Christian Granquist (Stockholm). Merging cinematic darkwave with post-punk grit, their sound blends romantic decay with existential tension—anchored in atmosphere, shadow, and emotional truth.
Often described as the soundtrack to a doomed romance, their work is lush, melancholic, and unflinchingly human. With influences ranging from Bauhaus to the darker corners of the 4AD catalogue, Johnathan|Christian create immersive sonic narratives where love, loss, and longing collide beneath the surface.
