about

Riding the wave of Deathretro’s self-titled debut — released last year to rave reviews from the likes of Louder Than War and The Yorkshire Evening Post — the highly charged new EP is a punchy follow-up full of livewire energy, danceable disco undertones and a contagious, live-ready character.

Pulsing like a rugged electrical current through a near-overloaded circuit, title track 'Pistols' is a full-frontal fusillade of brash drum beats, pounding disco-punk rhythms and an untamed, infectious intensity.

The EP’s collaborators are as multifarious as its sound, too. San Francisco-based The Olchemist — whose previous work under Hereldeduke has been described as "Captain Beefheart meets Timbaland on a Cumbrian fell whilst listening to Ennio Morricone" — provides some twangy western tumult on ‘Blind Panic’. Meanwhile, producer and songwriter Joe Thompson — who has overseen over 100 releases in his 15 years in the industry including work by Grammy-nominated songwriters and unsigned artists alike — weighs in to craft a buzzing, synth-heavy sprawl on ‘Cycles.’ And Craig West — one half of Edinburgh-based DJ and production duo Two Guys — plays his hand in putting a sinister and shadowy spin on the EP’s title track ‘Pistols.’
