It’s the reason why they’ve been caught listing their occupation as “professional face melters” in the past. Now, with the release of their highly anticipated second record Black Rat due on 2nd May, they’ll be entering their element and celebrating the release with a national tour of Australia. Having such a strong live reputation, the approach to their new record was one of purpose; to take the explosiveness of their live show, and bring it to the studio. With the likes of Burke Reid (of Gerling – credits include MSTRKRFT, The Drones, Seekae, The Mess Hall) at the helm of production, they were in safe hands to achieve this. What they came out with, however, was something they didn’t quite expect… It wasn’t just the live show that they’d captured, but rather, a rich, deep collection of sounds, textures and arrangements that culminated in their best recordings to date. Instead of the live show dictating the studio sound, it became evident that the studio recordings would need to be translated to stage in a way that the two-piece had never experienced before. Hence – a THIRD musician will be introduced to the stage during DZ Deathrays’ performances. Who will that be? You will have to come to the shows to find out, as they will change frequently, but one thing’s for sure, expect some special guests. Supported by Palms and FOAM.
