Dead Nature Records
Released: 23.07.21
Dead Nature is the solo project of former Spring King singer and producer Tarek Musa. Recorded in his Liverpool studio, with the unmistakable spirit of his DIY ethos, this collection of songs are buzzing with boundless energy. The poppy anthems have sing along choruses over the top of fuzzy basslines, various guitars and keyboards loops. The drumming patterns lend themselves to a live audience clapping along. Expansive upbeat sounds that feel like they will go down well in a live situation.
The first listen feels familiar. The songs greet the listener like they are well known, however what makes the album work is that the listener notices something different on repeated plays. This is a euphoric album for the summer.
