Naarm/Melbourne indie rock three-piece Des Cortez have shared their ‘feel good’-driven new single ‘Ultraviolet’.
The song marks a new era of Des Cortez, exploring a more sophisticated soundscape that differs from the band’s current discography. From the catchy harmonies to jangly guitar sections, “Ultraviolet”, hits all of the key requirements for a hit song. Lyrically, the song explores the excitement and giddiness of a young relationship, and how the experiences within them seem so explosive that it’s akin to seeing completely new colours.
Composed of highschool friends Devlin, Paddy and Sam, Des Cortez developed their unique indie rock sound in their final year of high school, culminating in the release of their debut EP, “Burn After Listening” in 2021 that launched them into the Melbourne music scene.
Since then, Des Cortez have taken Melbourne by storm, releasing a string of beloved singles and regularly playing in front of big crowds, including a sold-out single launch in the Espy;s Gershwin room. The band also frequently supports larger acts, such as Agung Mango, Summer Thieves, South Summit, The Butlers and The Rions.
The trio’s live sets are described as intimate and mesmerising, due to their high energy as well as catchy rhythm and melodic sections that reflect the nuance of their recordings.
