Death At Sea - Drag

With lo-fi music it’s often difficult to tell the mediocre from the understated, the challenging from the simply aimless. Luckily for Death At Sea, here they cut straight through the pack with a brace of stunningly melodic, indie disco dancefloor ready hits.

‘Drag’ has a casual, early Dino Jr., or early 90s Sonic Youth charm about it, but for all its melody lacks their knack for spinning a killer line among sincere but average recession-generation mumbling. For this reason it’s ‘Selfless’, the B, that’s the bona-fide out-of-the-box anthem, even if the chorus’s call to arms is “you’re fucking bringing me down”, said with enough bitterness to make Davey MacManus flinch.

Truly music to get high and drift through your twenties to.
