‘See our promotional robot, DR3-NG3, climbing Sheffield’s famous Moor high street, exhibiting simple behavioural standards and politeness programming’ – Drenge have premiered a video for Fades To Black, another of the tracks set for inclusion on their first EP Autonomy when it is released on October 5th.
“Fades To Black cruises through a patchwork of criticisms of modern life,” the Loveless brothers have previously said. “But it’s main thrust is if you kill off the environments that make a community what it is then eventually you’ll end up with a hollow shell. The offered solutions are only creating more problems.”
“I watch venues we’ve played in, spaces we’ve written and recorded in and places that inspire us get knocked down and turned into car parks and chain restaurants. But don’t worry, all of this is wrapped up in a 3 minute crowd-pleasing Britpop ditty. Music can change the world.”
The duo’s first action since 2015’s full length studio album Undertow was recorded in Sheffield with producer Ross Orton.
