The video was shot inside an analogue contraption originally built for those acid-house provocateurs, The KLF. You see Marnie, Hunt, Mira Aroyo, percussionist Peter Kelly, and multi-instrumentalist Andrew Hunt framed inside a maze of glitches, static bursts, overlays, and televisions emitting distorted colour: five figures playing in a room that looks like the future the 1980s hallucinated after too many strobe blasts.

The False Dawns is the latest solo recording of Huw Darling (The Spanish Amanda and The Chickpea Darlings) and cements his reputation of being jangly indie-pop's 'Bard of the socio-politico polemic'. 1.

The False Dawns is the latest solo recording of Huw Darling (The Spanish Amanda and The Chickpea Darlings) and cements his reputation of being jangly indie-pop's 'Bard of the socio-politico polemic'. For fans of the jangly melancholy of subjangle labelmates PoPo and The Melancholic Men with huge nods to the indie-cult reference points of The Television Personalities, "Our Tanks, Your Lawns" will nestle perfectly in the coolest recesses of your indie-pop collection.

Surprisingly, this is not a depressing listening experience. There is something so cathartically bleak about Songs of a Lost World, so epically pessimistic and emotionally wrought, that the results are perversely invigorating, transmuting powerful feelings of loss, grief, anxiety, anger and self-doubt into a work of such grandeur it leaves the listener strangely exhilarated and uplifted. Like shaking a fist at an approaching hurricane, it is an album that’s very existence evokes defiance of terrible forces of destruction. In embracing darkness, Smith offers a potent Cure for the blues.

This single, a tantalizing glimpse of his upcoming album Performance set for release on September 13 via Dais Records, unfolds like a vivid dream—where raw emotion meets a shimmering synth backdrop. Alfons pulls us into his world, where each beat and breath is charged with profound sincerity, inviting listeners to linger in the bittersweet space between melancholy and euphoria.
