REVIEW: In Another Life, The RingMaster Review

Sweltering with the Shameless: Passional

Another song that is as atmospherically inspiriting as it is shadow involving is In Another Life. It is the new single from New Jersey’s DEARDARKHEAD and the second invitation towards the band’s forthcoming album, The Pendulum Swings which comes out on July 10th via Fertile Crescent Records. It too is a track that draws the listener into a suggestive realm where they can imagine their own individual premise behind the instrumental but also a track that easily had feet dancing.

The Pendulum Swings is the trio’s first full-length album in 25 years and a proposal that, based on the combined adventure of lead single Letting Go and now In Another Life, will find itself the centre of hungry curiosity from DEARDARKHEAD fans and newcomers alike.

In Another Life is like walking into a dark forest of sound with every sinew of its body and scenery as imposing as they are engaging. Even so, with a great grumbling bassline and a melodic hook that borders on intoxication, the track is instinctive contagion even as it battles with dark anxiety and quite irresistible.
