Description

The world is brutal but there are cherry trees in blossom. This is the philosophy that underpins DEADLETTER, and their bruising, beautiful debut album Hysterical Strength. It039s punishing but there039s also fucking beauty out there, explains frontman Zac Lawrence, who, with lifelong friends Alfie Husband and George Ullyott, and Poppy Richler, Sam Jones and Will King, may just have turned in one of 2024s most urgent and vital listens a record that, right down to its title, relishes the contradictions of modern life. Being able to take something disgusting or disgraceful and make it sound nice through the power of music, that juxtaposition appeals to me, Lawrence adds. The result is twelve tracks of motoric rhythms and angular guitars, adorned by smoky saxophone and baritonebelted lyrics about flickering television sets and dilapidated town centres decked with decapitated bodies. Its strengths are hysterical indeed. DEADLETTER Cassette is available for home delivery from Vinyl Records London, only £9 +P&P

Cassette

A cassette tape is a nostalgic format that continues to hold a special place in music culture. Known for its warm, analogue sound and compact design, cassettes offer a unique listening experience that many audiophiles cherish. Their physical nature and simple playback process—complete with the iconic “tape hiss”—add a layer of authenticity that digital formats can’t replicate.

Cassette tapes also evoke a sense of nostalgia, bringing back memories of mixtapes, car rides, and the early days of music discovery. Collecting cassettes allows music enthusiasts to connect with the past while embracing the charm of a format that was once central to the music industry. Whether you’re seeking vintage classics or exploring modern releases on tape, cassettes remain a beloved part of music history.
