Today, Leeds-based art-rock experimentalists known as Drahla unveil 'Grief In Phantasia', the latest single from their highly anticipated sophomore album, angel movie, is set to be released on April 5 via Captured Tracks. It serves as its expressive finale angel movie, “Grief In Phantasia” encapsulates Drahla's signature experimental creative approach while reflecting the album's turbulent essence.
According to the band: “This song was informed by others on the record and by those we had written in the past. It felt like the closing track when we were writing it, like it summed up the chaos and the calm of the album.”
“I think the process and inspiration for this album was much more experimental and detached from taking on any outside musical references,” says singer Luciel Brown, “This record feels like it was built on a foundation of island inspiration.”
angel movie was revealed in January following the release of their recent singles 'Lip Sync' and 'Under The Glass', marking their first full-length album since their critically acclaimed 2019 debut. Useless Coordinates. “Grief In Phantasia” follows the album's powerful single “Second Rhythm”.
The lead single, “Default Parody,” debuted in January, combining flawless guitars with unpredictable sax melodies and harmonious yet powerful vocals.
