South London alt-rock newcomers Dead Air release their riff-heavy, anthemic, and riotous new single ‘Die’. The track is the latest to be taken from their forthcoming second EP, Elements, set for release on 7 February via Fly Tip Records. Alongside the single news, the band also reveal a run of February/March UK tour dates, plus an appearance at FOCUS Wales 2025.
Commenting on the new single, front man Reuben says:
“‘Die’ was the second half of a two part track—whether the first part comes out we’ll see, but ‘Die’ follows an individual who wakes up in the afterlife after taking their life. Confused and distraught by what they see, they reflect on the actions they have taken. Cursing themselves, they wish to return back to the world of the living.”
“Big up Rob Wilkes for getting us in the studio and leaving us to do our own thing,” says a grateful Moonasar of the initial writing sessions for Elements. “We spent a few weekends locked away writing day and night, sleeping in the control room on blow up mattresses. It was the grimiest dream come true. Waking up to fresh coffee and cigarettes every day we powered through song after song and came out with four tracks.”
With producer Davide Venco on side, the trio then headed to The Kinks’ legendary Konk Studios in London to lay down the final tracks. Moonasar continues:
“It’s a stunning studio and hides some incredible gear. The main studio has a great room sound which really lent itself to the moodiness of the EP. The drums especially sang in that room, a sound partially achieved by our tech Matt and Simon from London Drum Company, who tuned that kit to perfection.”
