deep tan

Musically, Hackney-based female trio deep tan draw on the brooding, melodic indie of early ​FOALS​ and ​Warpaint​; their sound is always seductive, but also underpinned with an edge of darkness. An undercurrent of post-punk in the vein of contemporaries Dry Cleaning, Drahla and black midi – in addition to multiple comparisons with post-punk pioneers Television – mean their sets never stray far from the shadows.

Debut single ​‘Air’​ displays soaring guitars and cavernous atmospherics that are underpinned by an angular rhythm and a solid foundation of heavy bass. New double a-side ‘Shimmer’ uses light atmospherics, layered instrumentals and a subtle use of electronics, whereas ‘Constant Inconsistencies’ is a much more confrontational listen, drawing sonic inspiration from the cold-wave side of post-punk.
