Today, London-based slowcore quartet deathcrash release their new album ‘Somersaults’ via untitled (recs). The album is streaming in full now and comes ahead of live dates across Europe and the UK in April – details below. You can hear and see a couple of tracks below too.
deathcrash are a four-piece slowcore band comprised of Noah Bennett (drums), Patrick Fitzgerald (bass), Matthew Weinberger (guitar) and Banks (vocals/guitar). Despite coming to prominence with other South London sensations such as Black Country, New Road, Jerskin Fendrix, Sorry and Black Midi, deathcrash have always had a distinctly mysterious energy about them, the shy kids in the corner quietly constructing something grand.
On their third album, ‘Somersaults’, their togetherness as a band has never sounded so fundamental to their work. It’s a sound that carries the weight of a near decade of friendship pushed to its extremes – its trust, its experience, its vulnerability – with no joy or discomfort omitted. Here, they are resolutely the same band that they’ve always been – a downed-tools four-piece of vocals, guitar, bass and drums, writing songs at the outer limits of expression.
