Google ‘Dead Sea’ and you’ll probably stumble upon photos of a large pool of super-salty water. That, obviously, is not the Dead Sea I’m referring to here…

Dead Sea is also a French four-piece that operates at the crossroads of (danceable) pop and rock. Think shoegaze-inspired pop with a pounding rhythm. They released their first two singles 8.50 and Lotion at the end of 2017 and their third is called Know Where. Clocking in at just under 5 minutes it may be a little too long for the radio, but there are tricks to overcome that problem 😉 . On the dance floor, however, Know Where has a hypnotic effect.

On 4 May, Dead Sea release their 4-track debut EP Colorate.
