DZ Deathrays have unleashed a huge new single and ace accompanying video, King B.
One of their most different songs to date, Shane Parsons explains that, “King B was a riff that Lachlan sent me that has been manipulated to fit in some chords that I put together. We did about 17 versions of the demo before landing on this arrangement.
“I wanted a party song; I wanted a track that was about getting people together and feeling the energy of that. Then one day it all came flowing to me in about 10 minutes. King B was the name of the riff and well, we celebrate it.
“It’s one of the biggest departures for DZ, starting a song with big synths and acoustic guitars, then dropping into one of the biggest riffs we have written to date, quickly deviating to more grinding synths, then a piano section then it’s riffs to the end. Quite the adventure.”
