London trio deep tan have shared the latest single in the run up to their debut EP. ‘hollow scene’ is the final release before EP ‘creeping speedwells’ drops in July.
deep tan are without a doubt one of the coolest bands on the scene right now and their star is in the ascendency. Fresh off the back of some very strong singles (‘camelot’ and ‘deep fake’), they’re being booked for festivals up and down the country as well as supporting Leeds post-punkers, Yard Act for a leg of their 2022 UK tour.
The track itself lays melodic vocals over a brilliantly catchy beat. Add in the math-rock style guitar and deep tan are really on to a winner here. If this is an indication of what’s to come, then ‘creeping speedwells’ is due to be a real treat. The cut has already picked up traction, earning itself a spin on Steve Lamacq’s BBC 6 Music show last night.
The trio are set to play a whole host of UK festivals, including Truck Fest, Lets Get Together and The Manchester Psych Fest: they are due to share the stage with a number of post-punk big hitters like IDLES, Do Nothing, Billy Nomates and many more.
deep tan have a gig scheduled at the legendary Windmill in Brixton – the venue is famous for incubating the scene that helped bands like Black Midi, Squid and Black Country, New Road go from cult heroes to big hitters in the indie scene. Their brand of angular rock, combined with the Poly-Styrene attitude is sure to win over fans across the post-punk-revival scene that is so prevalent right now.
Their striking style and sound draws inevitable comparisons to Bowie, Robert Smith and Bolan. deep tan have the tunes and the talent to back these comparisons up – they’re bound to go from strength to strength and are one to watch for the future.
