In the beginning, love is a radiant current; a shared journey of discovery. Over time, when communication falters, misunderstandings arise, and the waters become muddied, that initial energy dissipates – and if one is not careful, can be replaced by inertia and detachment. This process, a natural progression like changing seasons, teaches us about our vulnerabilities and true selves. In this phase, we’re invited to let go of the past and embrace the present with compassion. This release is not defeat but a recognition of impermanence, allowing space for new growth, connections, and understandings to emerge. But sometimes, we need to wallow in despair and indulge our grief with familiar comforts.
The initial heartbreak and the catalyst for grief in a decaying relationship is captured in the debut single Love Me by London outfit Death Drive, featuring Carine Fierobe and Danny Sanchez. Love Me showcases Carine’s voice, a blend of anger and soul with a hint of malevolence, while Danny’s pulsating basslines and pummeling drums push the intensity to new heights. This raw and powerful expression of emotion offers a poignant reflection on the turbulence of love and loss.
Love Me is out today via Gasolina Recordings. Listen to the track on Spotify or below or order here.
Co-produced by Jack Milwaukee of M!R!M, Love Me bursts forth from a harmonious blend of synthpop, industrial, post-punk, and neo-noir influences, evoking the darkness and soul of artists like SDH, Depeche Mode and Debby Friday. This marks the beginning of an unfolding series of releases set to be unveiled in the coming months.
Londoners can catch them live this summer:
