Freeze Me

Death From Above

Last Gang

WE SAY

An urgent five-note electric piano hook draws you into this energetic track by Death From Above, and you’re powerless to resist its grip. Sebastien and Jesse then keep throwing frenetic riffs at us on this first taster from the duo’s forthcoming new album. Straight away several key players at Radio 1 jumped on board with love for the tune last week. Mistajam gave it Hottest Record In The World status, then Huw Stephens showed his support and Clara Amfo played it during her daytime show. This week, Virgin Radio’s Matt Richardson has made it his Record Of The Week. With over 6500 Shazam tags in its first three days, and Spotify support which included New Music Friday in the US, Canada and Germany, along with placements in over 100 playlists with eight million followers in total, this deserves to breakthrough in a very big way. Exciting, thrilling and packed fun of earworms, it’s a chaotic yet perfectly controlled blend of styles and sounds that stands out on the radio for all the right reasons, rather than sounding like a throwback. All in all, a triumphant return.
