THE DATSUNS revel in 1970s cult film super-villains for new album, DEEP SLEEP released OCTOBER 3rd 2014 via Hellsquad\/Valve records through MGM.<\/p>\n
Seizing the opportunity of being in the same city, Deep Sleep was written and recorded in a blistering fast ten days at Roundhead Studios in Auckland last summer. The result is a sonic explosion that arrives, lights the place on fire, then leaves, all within the space of 34 minutes.<\/p>\n
Singer\/bassist Dolf de Borst explains, \u00e2\u0080\u009cWe\u00e2\u0080\u0099re not fucking around. We\u00e2\u0080\u0099re all conscious of the fact that we don\u00e2\u0080\u0099t live close to each other and we\u00e2\u0080\u0099re getting older and people have families, so if we\u00e2\u0080\u0099re together, we\u00e2\u0080\u0099re going to make records.\u00e2\u0080\u009d<\/p>\n
Deep Sleep elaborates on their signature breakneck-paced rock\u00e2\u0080\u0099n\u00e2\u0080\u0099roll delving into more menacing terrain summoned from the bands collective proto-metal 70s influences; Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Blue Oyster Cult and Bloodrock, to name a few. Semi-tones are thrown in amongst blues scale riffs creating a darker, more evil sound that summons images of 1970s cult film super-villains.<\/p>\n
