Animals and Man

Old Fashion

Hounds is the first single released this year by Melbourne four-piece Kill The Darling. Using layered guitar effects and funky bass and drum breaks, the single creates a brooding, dark story of "capture and release". Starting off soft, the single ascends into a feel good, funk jam.

Hounds

Like rising floodwater, ‘White Water’ builds slowly, opening with a slow driving bass riff and skittish, eerie vocals.
Metric dissonance between drums and bass echoes the lyrics’ creeping anxiety before the track intensifies to a
frenzied crescendo, ending with a guttural roar redolent of Dry-era PJ Harvey. The result is hypnotic, unnerving
and undeniably powerful song that reveals something new on each listen.
