Deep Dyed and the magical jammy psychedelic haze of "Dracula Force" (Official Video)

 

"strangled by excitement oh lord / why don’t you take the cord / endless up and downs / as a rule when you're in town..."

Deep Dyed’s “Dracula Force” is the final single release off of their debut album “Unmade Beds” which is out now (released May 26th). This track kinda hypnotized me, luring me in with its tight rhythm from drummer Lukas Tietkens and bassist Hauke Seibt carrying the evocative dueling vocals from songwriters John Hintz and Aylin Sengül. This psych pop group hails from Hamburg, Germany and have been playing together for several years, culminating and brewing their sound and this album. The whole album is filled with magical pockets of hazy noise in which I found myself feeling mystified by how affecting music can be. Deep Dyed have a good thing going on and if you dig psychedelic/post punk/contemporary pop music, I’m sure you’ll get lost in this too. 

The band shares this about the song and accompanying Official Video:

“The song could also be about how it feels to be trapped in a toxic relationship and the decision to break out of it.”

[Use your own power of thought to open doors to other worlds and escape from the moment. In the third and final single "Dracula Force", Deep Dyed lyrically reinterprets this thought in an imaginative way in the form of a temporal specialist for whom daylight is normally deadly.]

"the sun is burning my eyes away, it’s running through my blood so I can’t see a reason to stay"

A challenge that seems insurmountable at first glance. It also quickly becomes clear that the song could also be about how it feels to be trapped in a toxic relationship and the decision to break out of it.

"strangled by excitement, oh lord - why don't you take the cord? endless up and down as a rule when you’re in town"

[The music video for "Dracula Force" directed by Luca Zimmermann is the end of a trilogy that started with two videos by Marf Mabo for "Memory Starts to Bloom'' and "Rush" and is intended to take viewers on one final trip. Mystical creatures captured by iPhone cameras conquer the screen and continue the story, which ends in a castle of a notorious count. Reality and dreams merge into one. Was it really all just a dream in the end?]

Deep Dyed fills the space with their dazzling intensity and love between catchy, independent pop and psychedelic rock songs and enables its audience to take a journey into the world of their own dreams and emotions. Anyone searching for the perfect soundtrack to gaze out the window at the last pink rays of sun glistening through the treetops on a fading spring day or to lie in bed at night pondering life’s big questions will be well served with songs where dreams and reality vie for the best position on the way to communal joy. Deep Dyed manage to clothe the well-known emotions of love and desire, weariness and panic, un-dissectible dreams and the never-ending insomnia of modern city life in a new sound. Sometimes driving loudly, sometimes gently rippling - but always with an ambivalence between gentle hope and subliminal longing.
