Drenge - Strange Creatures (2019)

The Loveless brothers perform digitally rewired and re-engineered tracks from their new album, Strange Creatures, in the intimacy of Rough Trade Nottingham, Rough Trade East and Rough Trade Bristol.

Drenge release their third album, Strange Creatures via Infectious Records. The follow up to their critically acclaimed albums Drenge (2013) and Undertow (2015), as well as this year’s Autonomy EP, Strange Creatures includes singles This Dance and Autonomy, and according to the band is “the most considered record we have ever made”.

Speaking about Strange Creatures, Drenge said “It’s a nocturnal record. A psychological horror movie on wax. Warped hallucinations from mundane observations as you move through it. Is that a school or a skyscraper on fire in the distance? Or maybe it’s just the ski village? You drive nearer, past roadside diners jammed with dancing teenagers, through Uncanny Valley, past the most unhygienic nightclub in the world. The stereo sounds like it’s going to fall apart at any moment. The car judders to a halt and all you can hear is the sound of the sea.”
