Dead Surf isn’t just a band, it’s a collision. Five broken kids who should’ve drowned in their own lives but didn’t, because they found noise loud enough to keep the dark back. Their music isn’t clean or pretty; it’s built from post‑punk grit, surf‑rock bones, and the kind of pain that doesn’t fade when the sun comes up. Every song sounds like a night someone barely survived. Every lyric feels like a confession someone didn’t mean to say out loud. They don’t play to impress anyone. They play because it’s the only thing that keeps them from slipping under.
Kaleido’s new album Clockwork Rabbit Chase is a mesmerizing psychedelic fusion that weaves their classic beatnik soul with raw rap energy. The title track pulses through a smoke-drenched London hookah lounge where time unravels under thick hash clouds, swirling acid visions, and the relentless tick-tock of the Clockwork Rabbit. Jasper “Drift” Vale’s hypnotic sitar lines and electric guitar spirals tangle with Milo Brine’s primal drums, while Orion Kaleido delivers poetic verses that shift seamlessly between dreamy spoken-word and sharp, rhythmic rap flows, creating a thrilling beatnik-rap hybrid. Echo Wren’s ethereal textures float through the mechanical haze, turning the record into a beautiful, trippy chase through melting clocks, brass gears, and endless nocturnal wonder. Clockwork Rabbit Chase captures the spirit of free love, altered states, and underground mysticism, inviting listeners to lose track of time and dissolve into the smoke with the beautiful weird ones of the night.
