Daunt – This Body Rushes
SoundCloud
Another mysterious and magnificent debut has come wafting to our ears all the way from London. All we do know for sure is that
Daunt is an artist to watch. Like
Portugal. The Man combined with the dark cinematic sensibilities of
The Neighbourhood,
Daunt’s debut single, “This Body Rushes”, is smooth to the core. Between the diving pings of synth, there is a familiarity in the earnest melody as it is gently pushed along by distorted guitar lines. If the title alone doesn’t grab your attention, then the build of echoey layers overtop a subtle bass groove surely will. It’s a simple indie rock tune, but an excellent one — the kind of soul-clenching debut that jumpstarts careers. Keep your ears on
Daunt.
