Here’s the next offering from a band who are fast becoming the darlings of the Brisbane alternative scene. Dead Letter Circus are making some powerful friends in The Butterfly Effect, Karnivool and renowned producer Forrester Savell. This track ‘Lines’ comes from their debut EP, which was produced by Forrester and is getting the final touches put on it before the band launch it in April. Just like the previous track ‘The Mile’ that we previewed here, the boys lay on a healthy does of delay-soaked guitar and falsetto vocals, giving the track a rather dramatic feel, which is combined with the light and shade of the music.
Dead Letter Circus will be traversing the East Coast of Australia over the next four to six weeks, so check out their MySpace page for all the dates.

I’ve been getting MySpace friend requests for many years, but never has my musical mind been blown as much as when Dead Letter Circus asked me to listen to their music. I don’t know what it is about them that makes their music so incredibly listenable, but according to last.fm I have listened to them hundreds of times since I first discovered them a couple of months ago. I used to sit on their MySpace page and constantly listen to the two songs they have on there.
And it must be said, they put on an incredible show. I got to catch their first Melbourne gig with Fort and Heavy Weight Champ, and my mind was blown once again. The singer hit ALL the high notes, the music was even more powerful in a live setting, and they have a real sense of enjoyment about themselves.
I really can’t recommend them highly enough. These kids are going places.
