Death and the Maiden Share Waratah

There’s something about listening to the latest batch of tunes from Death and the Maiden that feels sort of like I’m crawling out my skin, like the millions of cicadas in my backyard, shedding my past and awakening to a new day. I love that, particularly as the group seems to adhere to some rhythmic touchstones from acts like Depeche Mode, though modern fans might hear more of a Beach House vibe. All of it fits, as the song’s a creeper, patiently moving along the metronomic beat while the sonic ambience is filled by echoing guitars and other noisy elements, waiting for the tune to add another layer of the beat. If you’re digging this, get a listen to Wisteria, available now from Fishrider Records.

    I love their stuff. A little meloncholy but gels together and has a depeche mode bjork feel. Hard to get enough of
