Our favourite goths from Doncaster, in the UK, have dropped a new single. “Never Coming Down” is the new track from the Peak Flow duo of James and Jools.

‘…..the track explores the emotional intensity of entering a new relationship, the feeling of being simultaneously euphoric and completely vulnerable. It captures the rush of a connection that can make your heart race, while leaving you torn between surrendering to those feelings and protecting yourself from getting hurt.’ – Peak Flow

The guitar and clattering drum machine bring such a heart felt joy, enhanced by the echoing synths. Of course the vocals are buttery smooth, even whilst singing about the delight of new romances, yet also the regret of suffering in the past traumas of love gone sour, which they wish never to endure again. I think most of us can agree to the adage, once bitten, twice shy, because giving over your heart completely leaves you open to also having your heart broken. The video is shot in a lovely monumental graveyard in black and white, so check that out. You should dance to “Never Coming Down” and I am sure the lovely lads of Peak Flow would promise to never break your heart with this post-punk rip snorter.

Singer/songwriter Adam Dawe (Lunar Seasons, Novus Wild) and composer/guitarist Karl O’Shea (Balloons Kill Babies, inovo, Sarah Stockholm, Ghostwoods) make up Daylight Ghosts, based in Brisbane, Australia. It has been a moment since we last heard from them, but now they are back from the dead with the single “Lazarus.”

The start feels like a threat to violence with a taste of metallic electronics, carried through in the rhythms of the electric guitar, mollified by the acoustic guitar. Dawe could be the vocal embodiment of Marc Bolan, though the message is not one of unity or love, which is clear from the lyrics kick in. It is meaty and unapologetic.

Sheesh, talk about whiplash. The surprise I felt on the first listen is not quantifiable. This folkie duo have brought on the industrial in order to give “Lazarus” teeth, with a message that our voices, allegiances and ideals impact the world around us, pushing the narrative that not fighting for what is right will have lasting implications. And if you though that was serious, you need to check out the even more angry man’s angry man, HOSTILE ARCHITECT aka Mitch Kenny, and his remix which is actually a bit creepy in an apocalyptic sort of way. You cannot change the world unless you stand up, stop pretending that you are dead, come back to life like “Lazarus,” and join the children of revolution with Daylight Ghosts.
