Another New Tune from The Deathray Davies

Leave a comment

Sixteen years later, and I knew I was waiting for this exact tune from the Deathray Davies! A few seconds of toying with me, then it drops right into this huge wall of pounding power-pop, pumping out these catchy riffs and tasty little melodic treats. I won’t lie, this reminds me of all the late 90s college rock, the catchy sort that somehow made it onto normal radio stations that Suburban kids like myself could record and put on mixtapes for their friends. It’s that brand of pop rock where you think you’re too cool for it, but then you decide, nah, I’m going to crank that shit up and rock out. Their new LP, Time Well Wasted, is out this April.

It’s been nearly fifteen years since the Deathray Davies have dropped a new LP, but we’re now only a few short weeks away from the release of Time Well Wasted. Still, all the core members of the band have stayed plenty active, which suffice to say, keeps the band sounding as sharp as ever. They’ve built this song around some angular guitar riffs, and while those cut quick and hard, they’re also super fast, which works in direct contrast with the sort of melancholy of the vocals. Sort of feels like they’re churning out some classic post-punk vibes, only woven together with some ballad-like tendencies. Forgot how much I really enjoyed this band, so we’re stoked to see what’s in store when the LP drops on February 12th.
