Watch: Dutch Criminal Record Release "Return To Dust" Music Video

Portsmouth indie/surf pop band Dutch Criminal Record have released the video for their newest single "Return To Dust".

The song is part of our current playlist and came out last month (July 24), it is taken from their forthcoming EP "It’s Gonna Be Okay".

Taking on creative inspiration from indie icons Vampire Weekend and Radiohead, ‘Return to Dust’ provides a sweet soundtrack to your summer romance and vocally embarks on a soothing exploration into the vulnerability of love.

Taking a closer look behind the making of ‘Return to Dust’, band member Sam remembers how he wrote the emotive lyrics during the first lockdown in the pandemic. With the creative aim to convey requited love and hopes, the gentle vocals also vulnerably portrays the mixed states of confusion and fear that falling in love entails in the early stages of romance.

New Entry: Dutch Criminal Record Air New Single "00's Nostalgia"

Portsmouth indie/surf pop band Dutch Criminal Record have aired their catchy new single "00's Nostalgia".

Speaking about it, Joe Delaney-Stone explains: "’00’s Nostalgia’ is a desperate cry of sentimentality in the face of existential dread, it’s something everyone has experienced at one point in their lives. I wrote it in deep lockdown around late April when the novelty of being cooped up had well and truly worn off. It had been unreasonably hot for April and as I slowly cooked in my barely ventilated North London flat I was noodling on my guitar and the intro riff just appeared on my fingers. As I came to write the lyrics on an old memory on social media catapulted me back to my early teens when the existential threat of global events seemed like something that just happened in the news and not something that would ever affect me. I tried to reflect on that and the effect that comparing myself to others on social media during lockdown had on me and probably countless others."

The song is out now via frtyfve. Stream it below.
