Dead Method announces new song ‘Blonde’

“There is a beautiful dark foreboding intensity to the music of Dead Method. Classy and well- crafted electronic tracks with expressive and haunting vocals. Dead Method are well and truly dragging the torch song into the 21st century.” – NewSound Wales

“There’s something darkly exotic and wonderful different about Dead Method, whose artful electronica is beautifully creative and pulls on the emotional heartstrings, courtesy of Lloyd’s captivating voice.” – David Owens, WalesOnline

DEAD METHOD returns with his new single BLONDE. An exploration of body dysmorphia in the digital age and how social media influencers can negatively affect our mindset by offering up seemingly perfect bodies and lives for the consumption of a hungry audience around the world 24/7.

Set against a backdrop of aggressive synths, this wild and vigorous track relentlessly hits home with a catchy hook and soaring vocals. Produced, mixed and mastered by Minas who also co-wrote the song.

Dead Method is an unstoppable force of experimental art-pop. In the last twelve months, he has been working closely with Forte Project supported by Arts Council of Wales and PRS for Music Foundation which has put him at the forefront of the Welsh music scene with his unique experimental-pop sound.

AUST shares buzzing new single ‘The Hive’

Hailing from Neuchâtel, Switzerland, AUST’s two track EP The Hive was recently released via Enhanced Music’s Enhanced Chill. With a string of previous releases under his belt, his work has previously been compared to artists such as Fakear, Petit Biscuit and Møme.

AUST’s sound is characterised by intricate loops, electronic embellishments and textured soundscapes. The Hive is somewhat of an ode to his home, a place of refuse that obviously inspires him greatly.

He explains: ‘The Hive’ refers to the new place me and my wife live in. It’s a tiny house surrounded by wild nature where I recorded some sounds that are featured on both songs. I’ve also just built a second studio there to focus on new inspirations. The place was full of bees during the summer (which is unfortunately uncommon those days) and the chorus on The Hive took me back to those sounds.”

Rock band October Drift releases new music video from the song ‘Forever Whatever’

October Drift has shared the video for their new single, ‘Forever Whatever,’ the title track and latest single to be taken from their upcoming debut album, out on January 24th via Physical Education Records.

A powerful demonstration of the band’s formidable live presence, the video sees the band perform the track in a seamless one-take shot amid the atmospheric setting of an empty warehouse, with thrashing theatrics emphasizing its emotionally charged sentiment.

“Filming music videos usually fills us with dread, and seeing as we filmed this one on the only day off during a three-week tour we were a little pessimistic,” explain the band. “So when the videographers suggested doing a one-shot performance video we were all pleased. We basically just played the song as we would live, once in front of the camera and that was that. No point in doing it over and over again and killing the vibe. We find this kind of thing works better if you don’t overthink it.”

A juxtaposition of calm and chaos, the track combines the brooding emotion of Joy Division and New Order with the volatility of The Bends-era Radiohead. Swelling and anthemic, the track opens to an engulfing explosion of distorted guitars, before hushed verses highlight the track’s elegiac yet hopeful lyricism. Frontman Kiran Roy’s potent vocals are set against resonant instrumentals, before launching into a chorus charged with immersive intensity.

‘Forever Whatever’ follows their previous singles ‘Losing My Touch’ – released earlier this year – and ‘All Broken Down’ and ‘Come And Find Me’, released to widespread acclaim last year. With influences as varied as The National, Radiohead, Interpol and Nick Drake, their heavy, pop-inflected rock is delivering a rejuvenating injection of fresh blood to the genre.

October Drift’s debut album, Forever Whatever, is a cathartic collection of tracks encompassing themes of loneliness, fear and ultimate positivity, and builds on the solid foundation that they have built over years of touring and writing to cement themselves as an important and powerful new presence.

One of the most electrifying, charismatic and formidable live acts of the past two years – with appearances at festivals including Glastonbury’s John Peel stage, Reading & Leeds and The Great Escape, as well as a major European tour with Editors in 2018 and a slot at Liverpool’s Sound City – the band look certain to ascend to even greater heights in 2020.
