DEAD LIGHTS fuel their dark alternative electronic dance sound with punk energy and catchy lyricism. The androgynous duo aim to produce visceral and raw art that disrupts gender and genre.
Glamgoth? Cyberelectro? Industrial Dance? Disguised as dark, sleazy electropop, DEAD LIGHTS create their own personal blend of monumental synth bass lines and gritty sounds, elaborate vocal arrangements and brutal, dance-orientated beats.
Their new EP 'Doom Doom Trash' offers four brand new industrial popsongs taylored to fill dancefloors in a dystopian world.
DOOM DOOM TRASH is out In digital format and on CD on Cold Transmission Music.
DEAD LIGHTS was founded at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, forcing the international musician/producers duo (UK and NL) to work on all their output from a distance. Separated by the sea and a pandemic, but connected in spirit and a lust for dark, filthy, electronic dance music, Saul and Richard managed so far to produce a handfull of videos, a single, 2 EPs and one album (CD/2LP), as well as all the artwork.
Their self-titled debut album is available in digital format, as well as on CD and 2LP. The CD and 2LP feature their 2 EPs, 'DEATH POP' and 'HEX' as bonus tracks.

“Their music happily eschews obvious labels, taking notes from the likes of glam, goth and industrial to create something that’s truly their own, filled with booming vocals and beats and gritty synth sounds.”
NOTION Magazine (UK)
