As harrowing as it is exhilirating, we're extremely excited to be bringing you the debut album from Dead Times, the duo of Lee Buford (The Body) and Steven Vallot (Muslin), due out October 20th. Releasing a handful of rarities coveted by fans over ten years ago, the duo's long-awaited debut album connects Buford and Vallot's untethered extremes of their origins to the mastery of production, composition and structure each member has cultivated in their time apart.
Preorder Dead Times self-titled debut album
Expanding on both musicians' lifelong exploration of sonic extremes, Dead Times is uncompromising in its thirst for ever-harsher atmospheres while equally finding space for magnificent spectacles of melodicism and harmonic motion. Across the album, the duo oscillate between overwhelming volleys that sheath hidden splendors and suffusing moments of quiet and clarity with melancholy and grit. First single "Pysche Surprises Love" pushes captures the album's ebb and flow between overwhelming emotion and caustic release, with the duo sculpting cries of pain into rising drones and juddering rhythms that build a chest-rattling bass drop.
