Southampton’s favourite quartet The Dead Freights unveil new single ‘Sufferin’ Safari’
One of the best outfits that Southampton has to offer, The Dead Freights should be on everyone’s list to see live once all this madness is over.
Back with their exceptional new single “Sufferin’ Safari”, the track was recorded at Sunrise Studios with Marc Burford and Undy Hunt (Echotape), and further mixed by Josh Ager (Beabadoobee).
The third in a string of four releases recorded during lockdown, “Sufferin’ Safari” showcases a humourous side to The Dead Freights’ usual attire.
Speaking about the release, Charlie of TDF states, “The first time I sung the lyric ‘All my bad dreams make sense, but the wet ones don’t” to friends, they laughed. Although, in reality there’s probably a sad truth to it. I’ve always liked it when the lyrics carry a sense of comic tragedy.”
“Sufferin’ Safari is one of those songs we didn’t really understand properly until we’d played in front of people a few times,” drummer Louis Duarte adds. “Sometimes your tune only clicks after it’s been soaked in bar juice.”
Equipped with every element you need to be classed as an anthem, ‘”Sufferin’ Safari” refuses to follow the typical indie-rock rulebook.
A slightly more mysterious and moody sound to their previous release, this new avenue that The Dead Freights are following is exceptional.
You can listen to the track exclusviely before it’s worldwide release tomorrow at the top of this page – it’s destined to leave you wanting more from this fine four-piece.
