Deathretro have released their new EP, Pistols, that is out now via Cosmic Glue. Pulsing like a rugged electrical current through a near-overloaded circuit, Pistols is a full-frontal fusillade of brash drum beats, pounding disco-punk rhythms and an untamed, infectious intensity. Riding the wave of Deathretro‘s 2021 self-titled debut, the highly charged new EP is a punchy follow-up full of livewire energy, danceable disco undertones and a contagious, live-ready character. 

Founded by Kie, Adrian and Boone, three friends from the villages of Cumbria, Deathretro forged a sound alive with the drama of the sprawling hillsides that surrounded them and the local party scene they grew up in. Now based in Manchester and accompanied by producer and drummer Grant Henderson, the band are back with Pistols, a dynamic new EP that comes armed with three inimitable remixes.

The EP’s collaborators are as multifarious as its sound, too. San Francisco-based The Olchemist provides some twangy western tumult on Blind Panic, producer and songwriter Joe Thompson weighs in to craft a buzzing, synth-heavy sprawl on Cycles and Craig West (Two Guys) plays his hand in putting a sinister and shadowy spin on the EP’s title track.
