DEATHCRASH – somersaults – VINYL LP (black)

deathcrash’s third album, Somersaults, glimmers with an everyday euphoria. Recorded between the Loire Valley and Haggerston, the London slowcore/post-rock quartet’s follow-up to Return (2022) and Less (2023) is their most vocal-led and almost joyful record yet. Lyrics resist revelation, half-swallowed and consumed by the smaller textures of living, while the band, caretakers of the Duster, Low and Codeine lineage, pair narcotic crawls and cathartic builds with tenderness. Even the silence feels collaborative: friends making room for each other’s ghosts, in some of the biggest, brightest songs they’ve made.
