Welcome to the DCC by Nothing But Thieves

 

Nothing But Thieves has been on an upward trajectory, with their last three albums landing in the UK top ten. Now, they're ready to release their fourth album, Dead Club City, on July 7th. The first single, "Welcome to the DCC," is already out, and it hints at a possible concept album.

"Welcome to the DCC" begins with a heavy guitar riff that transports you to the 1980s, with strong synths and a pounding beat. The song has clear echoes of various artists such as The Killers, Scissor Sisters, and Daft Punk, but the distinctive quality of Conor Mason's lead vocals sets it apart. It's difficult to pinpoint the origins of Mason's unique voice, with elements of Simon Le Bon in the mix. However, his high pitch adds to the track's uniqueness. The guitar and synth combo provides the song's hook.

The track's overall sound and feel show that Nothing But Thieves is back with a bang. The band's focus on strong instrumentation, as well as the unique qualities of Mason's voice, make this song stand out. Fans will be excited to see what the band has in store for the rest of their upcoming album.

Radical Romantics by Fever Ray

Karin Dreijer, known as Fever Ray, is an iconic artist of the 21st century, known for their groundbreaking and original contributions to visual media, opera, and live performances that blur the lines of identity and anonymity.
