Hailing from Yorkshire, now South London rooted, DEADLETTER channel the droll fury of The Fall and the lopsided rhythms of LCD Soundsystem into a strain of vehement post-punk, exploring the darker side of existence through a lens of narrative-driven levity.
With members being firm friends from birth, there is an instinctive understanding of movement and danceability to their music worth its weight in gold, whilst never cheapening the nuance and grit of their sound. With four singles now under their belt, the only way is upwards for DEADLETTER.
Rooted in post-punk sensibilities, their EP is at once raw and diverse in its sonic palette, sprinkled with a variety of influences from Madchester to Madness.
