Deadletter shared ‘More Heat!’, the latest new single to be taken from the band’s forthcoming debut album Hysterical Strength (13th September via SO Recordings). Welding elastic basslines, scratchy and discordant guitars, and rasping saxophones, ‘More Heat!’ makes for an addictive, off-kilter examination of self-deception.
Lead singer Zac Lawrence says about the song: “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.”
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. This Is Pop? today’s song of the day is here for you.
