Deathline - NOVA (album stream)

In June this year London rock/electronic duo Deathline returned with new single ‘Ten of Club’s as a statement of intent. After a spell of shows in the US along the East Coast and Midwest they retreated into the studio to pursue a darker and heavier path which led them to recoding new material with Josiah Mazzaschi (whose credits include Smashing Pumpkins/Built to Spill/Rilo Kiley/Deap Valley/William Reid)...’Ten of Clubs’ was only the beginning.

The initial visceral blend of dirty electronica, throbbing garage rock and post-punk prowess made the track a swaggering beast, but in ‘NOVA’ they have made a world that offers up a whole lot more.

The new Album ‘NOVA’ was released 26th November 2012 on Rock Noir Recordings. You can stream it in full below.

Instrumental opener ‘Black Money’ struts in like The Stooges meets Morricone; the soundtrack of post-industrial outlaws. Combining sleazy riffs, husky vocals and expansive and grinding programming they cross-over the world of guitar rock and electronica with confidence. The darkly textured mix includes heavy psych, shoegaze and kraut sensibilities that have drawn comparisons to Jesus and Mary Chain, Suicide, Einsturzende Neubauten and The Raveonettes.

‘Every Dying Breath’ creates a hazy and psychedelic tone, ‘Warm Leather’ is a euphoric and uplifting moment of calm that raises the hairs on the back of your neck and ‘Don’t Waste Your Time’ is stripped back blues at its most delicate. But never far away are the crunching riffs as they kick off on ‘Surrender Monkey’, ‘Sweden v Poland’ and ‘Ten of Clubs’ whilst ‘Nova’ sees them drift off into post-rock territory.

The Buzz

“Short, sharp and sledgehammering home the point, the plethora of layers contained in the grungy burst drift around within the track, at times overlapping and at others crashing into each other spectacularly”
-- Shout 4 Music

“Their unceremonious mash-up of guitars and technology sounds like the grinding in the gearbox of the modern world. Remember when bands had to be electronic or guitar driven, but not both? Kraftwerk or The Clash, you had to choose. These days, you can be bits of both.”
-- Nemesis To Go

“Fusion of smutty electronica, suicide-esque atmospherics and post-punk vocals”
-- Artrocker

"Hypnotic post industrial beats, a relentless guitar riff combined with nods to The Velvets & Nico, Einsturzende Neubauten and the Mary Chain is pretty much guaranteed to get our toes a-tapping "
-- The Von Pip Musical Express

“Deathline should probably come packaged in a leather jacket and shades and instantly give you an inferiority complex.”
-- Sounds XP
