VIDEO// Death Rattle: Do As You Please

'Do As You Please' is the second single to fall from Chris and Helen Hamilton's golden touch, following their stunning November debut 'The Dig'. Their intrepid, experimental stance on electronic pop has been maintained, Helen's vocals lathered in that same reverb and those same foreboding synths. In contrast to 'The Dig', 'Do As You Please' is decidedly less abrasive, the singing softening the hard edges of their hand-clap infused percussion. A key element to Death Rattles' sound, these hard-hitting beats are of an intrinsic importance, carrying both power and potency like the thundercloud throbs so cleverly emulated throughout the track! The video is fantastic too, Chris and Helen sporting outfits in keeping with those of Fever Ray! Stream 'Do As You Please', then look out for the song when it drops on the 7th of next month.

NEWS// Death Rattle: The Dig MP3

This new track, 'The Dig', is London-based duo Death Rattle's debut single. Composed of Helen and Chris Hamilton, formerly of lo-fi three-piece That Mouth, 'The Dig' highlights a rather radical shift in sound. They've thrown out a list of influences via the Facebook, and believe me when I say that the inspirations play a big part in terms of how the song plays out. The main difference however, is the notable increase in production value. The darker tone of the track throbs and swirls menacingly under stark electronic ice. Fever Rays truly experimental ethos materialises itself under the pounding Depeche Mode synths and Nine Inch Nail aggression, all layered in immaculate production and a refined recording quality. Helen's vocals are dominant, smothered in reverberating, foreboding disquiet. The hook is incredible, burrowing itself deep into your conscious with every tangible, unfaltering shovel fall. It's an amazing debut song from the duo, and well worth a free download here!
