A Dead Forest Index stream ‘Cast Of Lines’ EP in full

Brothers Adam & Sam Sherry recently picked up the adored attention of Pop Noire, the label co-run by Savages’ Jehnny Beth and Johnny Hostile. Their latest A Dead Forest Index EP, ‘Cast of Lines’, explains why. With the opener ‘Tide Walks’ premiering on DIY last month, what remains is a glistening showcase of wind-swept, eerie productions. Everything’s neatly arranged with a purposeful, bitter aftertaste. Beauty clashes eye-to-eye with pure ugliness. What’s raw and grizzly is also a source of refuge.

DIY’s delighted to be streaming the release in full - below we’ve also got word from both Jehn and Gemma Thompson from Savages about their love of A Dead Forest Index. Plus, read a DIY interview with the band alongside our premiere.

“Listening to A Dead Forest Index is to hear words traversing a landscape, built on repetition and description, which is at once elusive but also so certain,” says Gemma. “The sound is beautiful and captivating, with a very human heaviness and escaping any particular genre. These are songs that are to be listened to over and over, building on themselves each time.”
