Sad Night Dynamite's Eerie 'Icy Violence' Is Driven By Paranoia

It's a remarkable debut single...

*Sad Night Dynamite* have shared their new single 'Icy Violence'.

The band originally hail from Glastonbury, and mesh towards hugely contradictory aspects of pop culture.

Sitting somewhere between the paranoia of instrumental grime production and the forcefulness of indie songwriting, the pair are a deeply driven, hugely DIY force.

New single 'Icy Violence' is dappled in dubbed out effects, potentially matching the timeliness of the Specials, say, to the emotional heft of Portishead.

Sounds to explore yourself in, Sad Night Dynamite offer up the new single as "an immersive entry-point" into their voyage.

"We wrote 'Icy Violence' almost a year ago today," they explain. "It had been a really hot few weeks and we’d been putting the song together for a while by then. There's a beach theme but also a kidnapping and a darkness around it."

"The end really reminds us of the area we grew up in - green countryside and Glastonbury. We finished it and remember thinking it was either a mess, or the first song we’d written that made sense. It was the obvious one to start the project."
