Death Drive – Don't Hide

Dystopian electro pulse

“Don't Hide” by Death Drive picks up exactly where “Love Me” left off—with that uncom­prom­isingly mod­ern elec­tron­ic indus­tri­al sound that imme­di­ately sticks in your head. The beat is crisp and sounds like it was stamped out of a dirty London back­street. I love that the vocals are used more har­mo­ni­ously this time around – I already liked that in “Love Me”.

The voice car­ries a dis­tinct elec­tro punk atti­tude, remind­ing me in places of Peaches, that German-Canadian artist who always hits the nerve with her unvar­nished dir­ect­ness and elec­tron­ic raw­ness. It's exactly this vibe – rebel­li­ous, but son­ic­ally clear – that res­on­ates here.

The bridge sur­prises with sev­er­al phases that con­dense into a dysto­pi­an moment, almost like a brief stand­still in a pulsat­ing city. The con­stant sirens clearly add to the unease. This brings depth to the energy without los­ing dir­ec­tion. Death Drive suc­ceeds in mak­ing indus­tri­al sound fresh – raw, edgy, but with feel­ing and attitude.
