South London alt-rock newcomers Dead Air have shared their new single ‘Violently Blue’. The track is the first taste of a larger body of work set for release in 2025, with further details to be revealed over the coming months.
The track was born during Dead Air’s sessions from Squarehead Studios, Kent. After writing relentlessly morning till night (even camping out on blow up mattresses, sleeping on the studio floor), the London three piece wrestled their powerful new masterpiece into shape.
Commenting on the track, frontman Reuben Moonasar says:
“The single explores the idea of two beaten and broken souls who are plagued by circumstance. As one half unravels, so does the other, revealing the fragility of their new bond in the shadow of inescapable prior trauma”. The outro ‘A different place / A different time’ acknowledges how their bond could have been salvaged, if they only had the luxury of different circumstances.”
With a menacing atmosphere and a crushing air, ‘Violently Blue’ is as captivating as it is mysterious. It’s a collection of angular grunge wrapped in an indie explosion of ear-grabbing songwriting. It’s bands like this that get me excited about the future of music.
