Yorkshire post punk band DEADLETTER have shared their new single “More Heat!“.
The track is another taste of their upcoming debut album ‘Hysterical Strength‘, due to be released on 13th September via SO Recordings. Pre-order your copy here.
Produced by famed British producer Jim Abbiss (Arctic Monkeys, Adele), the album’s opening statements make for a model introduction to a record of exploratory art-punk that brews malevolent atmospheres and searches darkened corridors for clarity amongst the cacophony of chaos.
‘More Heat!’ encompasses all of the things that DEADLETTER do best. Welding elastic basslines, scratchy and discordant guitars, and rasping saxophones, the song makes for an addictive, off-kilter examination of self-deception.
Speaking about it, lead singer Zac Lawrence says: “More Heat! is about the way in which someone may attempt to convince themself they are feeling enjoyment from something that in reality is causing them a disturbance. Whether it be to preserve face, or simply through an inability to swallow their pride and accept that a spell of discomfort as a result of change far outweighs continuously doing something from which there is no contentment to be found.”
