Deathcrash announce new album ‘Somersaults’ & Night Club 101 show, share title track

London slowcore torch-carriers Deathcrash have announced their third album, Somersaults, due February 27 via untitled (recs) (pre-order). Vocalist/guitarist Tiernan Banks says, “There is something about this album that’s a reflection on growing up, or a shift from adolescence to adulthood.”

“That doesn’t feel like a very interesting thing to say artistically,” Banks continues, “but I think there was this do or die fatalism in our previous music that doesn’t exist here. Adolescence is feeling like you’re gonna live forever, but also that you want to die right now – and they’re basically the same feeling. And then growing up is somewhere much more in the middle. It’s less exciting, but it’s more sustainable. It’s like losing the idealisation of the beginning stages of a relationship – you and them against the world – and being sad that it’s gone, but also – thank God. Because what you now have is real.”

The album features recent single “Triumph,” as well as the just-released title track, both of which find Deathcrash sounding bolder and more confident than ever without losing any of their melancholic, slow-paced charm. About the new song, bassist Patrick Fitzgerald says, “[Guitarist] Matt [Weinberger] presented to us this beautiful nostalgic song, more or less fully formed, and he’d called it ‘Somersaults’ before the vocals were ever written for it. It became a symbol for the record more or less instantly.” Check out both singles below.

On the eve of the album’s release, Deathcrash will celebrate with a show at NYC’s Night Club 101 (February 26). Tickets are on sale now. They also have a few upcoming UK dates, and you can find their full schedule below.
