Denton Thrift Release Sight EP

Leeds based duo, Denton Thrift, combine rich vocal harmonies with deep layered synths and environmental percussion. Built upon a wonderfully sparse sound, Denton Thrift captivate with lacquered melodies atop a blanket of intricate synth chords. Hailing from Northern Ireland and Devon the pair met while studying music at the University of Leeds. They first began song writing during their year abroad in Denton, Texas, later using this as inspiration for their name.

They have released new single and debut EP, both titled ‘Sight’, via Majestic Records. ‘Sight’ is the third track from the EP and follows the release of ‘Something Real’ and ‘Confessional’. The band says about the track, “‘Sight’ highlights the way depression clouds and obscures the ability to remain objective in difficult circumstances. Through consolation and reassurance the narrative leads towards resolution, culminating in a choral soundscape that expresses the ambivalence of emancipation.”

“The EP draws on a series of conversations surrounding mental health and how it affects relationships while obscuring self reflection, thus not allowing for beneficial change. Journeying between crisis and realisation ‘Sight’ explores the hardships of emotional introspection during a period of immense personal distress.”
