Deadletter - Hysterical Strength
Formed in 2020, Deadletter have been gradually building momentum through a series of singles and EPs along with a visceral live show. Having refined their sound and style, this debut album promises to be the culmination of their hard work.
Firstly, a warning: your enjoyment of this album will depend on your tolerance of the saxophone. For many years now, the sax has been underpinning numerous bands’ output, but here it is front and centre of everything, either guiding songs or dominating them, often in lieu of a lead guitar. Although it’s an excellent mood-setter, in truth it does get wearing at points, but fortunately there is much else to digest.
