Dead Nature,\u00a0the solo project of former Spring King singer and prolific producer (The Big Moon, Calva Louise, Circa Waves, Dream Nails, Genghar, Police Car Collective) Tarek Musa,\u00a0has announced this debut album\u00a0\u2018Watch <\/em>Me Break Apart\u2019. The album will be out June 25, 2021. He has also shared the video for new single Hurricane<\/em>. It follows the boisterous, sky-high indie-pop dramatics of recent single\u00a0Red Clouds<\/em><\/a>, which drew support from BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, Clash, DIY, Dork, The Line of Best Fit, NME, The Independent, and The i Paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hurricane<\/em> is another insistent earworm from Dead Nature. It ponders the innocence of youth, the decisions made by older generations, and how these are affecting the young. Tarek elaborates:\u00a0\u201cI\u2019ve never been good at being overtly political, I don\u2019t feel smart enough with words to express myself to the level some do, but the song for me was a nudge in that direction. It was a bit of a homage to Whole Wide World by Wreckless Eric, with its very brittle and simple guitar intro. It\u2019s a little na\u00efve\u00a0in its delivery at times, tongue in cheek like the B52\u2019s and full of energy with the edge of a late 70\u2019s Clash song. Like a train picking up speed, I wanted to keep up the momentum of the message to the song and didn\u2019t want many moments of respite.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He Continues: \u201cI had only recently moved into my studio and had just finished working with Calva Louise on their EP. It was one evening when I text Jess (lead singer and guitarist) asking if she\u2019d get the train to Liverpool to do some Backing Vocals. She has such a raw energy that matched the track so well and we put down her vocals in about 25 mins. You can also hear the scuzzy vocals of Joe Wills (producer for Stealing Sheep, Dan Croll and Mikael Paskalev) layered up too.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
