Following the announcement of his Unbearable Light EP alongside the release of previous single "Drive", DAUNT follows up with the EP's title track.
“Unbearable Light” already carries the weight of a bus-load of genres. Its melancholic hip-hop beat, nod to jazz via lucid piano, and subtle sneaking in of a twinkling guitar keep the song fresh and exciting. DAUNT asks us “Do you feel alone?” throughout the song, the rising calamity of the lyrics diverged yet supported by the crisp ambient synths throughout.
With this release, DAUNT builds upon his catalogue, complementing releases “Beamish Boy”, “This Body Rushes”, and “Drive”.
The Unbearable Light EP is out 28 April, including "Unbearable Light" and previously released track “Drive”. Catch DAUNT live in London on 26 April.
