The band quotes on the track: ‘Sight’ highlights the way depression clouds and obscures the ability to remain objective in difficult circumstances. Through consolation and reassurance, the narrative leads towards resolution, culminating in a choral soundscape that expresses the ambivalence of emancipation.
On the EP release the band quote: The EP ‘Sight’ draws on a series of conversations surrounding mental health and how it affects relationships while obscuring self-reflection, thus not allowing for beneficial change. Journeying between crisis and realization ‘Sight’ explores the hardships of emotional introspection during a period of immense personal distress.
Leeds based duo Denton Thrift combines rich vocal harmonies with deep layered synths and environmental percussion. Built upon a wonderfully sparse sound, Denton Thrift captivates with lacquered melodies atop a blanket of intricate synth chords.
Hailing from Northern Ireland and Devon the pair met while studying music at the University of Leeds. They first began songwriting during their year abroad in Denton, Texas, later using this as inspiration for their name.
405 – Denton Thrift take an even bolder step forward with their new single ‘Confessional’, which is as honest and deeply emotive as that title might suggest.
Electronic North – Last up this week is Confessional by Leeds duo Denton Thrift. The songcraft just shines through here, as if every word and every note has been crafted from precious stone. Its slowly changing nature makes it feel like it’s being shaped by the Yorkshire weather, and the vocals and lyrics are like soft but unyielding heather slowly unflowering on a warm Spring day. Conor Jordan and Jess Mollie have created a track that’s electronic at heart but feels totally in tune with the natural world around them.
Earmilk – On “Something Real,” a classic vocal is backed by echoing beat and minimalist soundscape, like lake water rippling as a stone is dropped to the bottom.
Mystic Sons – British duo preview their new EP with this haunting yet swooning ethereal cut, with hints of The xx
