REVIEW: In Another Life, Real Gone Rocks

June 25, 2026 | Real Gone Rocks

Following the wonderful ‘Letting Go’, Deardarkhead have delivered another winner with the atmospheric ‘In Another Life’. On this track, the instrumental act dive even deeper into a world of late 80s goth sounds with the help of a throbbing bassline and deep sounding guitar lines that venture into the darker corners of a sweeping melody. In keeping with the previous track, a brighter, ringing guitar tone adds some strong lead parts, often drawing again from old goth and post punk influences, but even carrying a faint echo of early work from The Fierce & The Dead. Helping the band to gain even more traction after a long overdue return, ‘In Another Life’ should appeal to fans and first time listeners equally.

REVIEW: Letting Go, Real Gone Rocks

June 11, 2026 | Real Gone Rocks

Blending alternative rock and dream pop, Deardarkhead whip up a superb sound on ‘Letting Go’. Building from a solid bassline, the number takes a mid tempo groove and layers that with a soaring guitar that shares a very lyrical sounding melody. The lead guitar tone is beautiful, bringing a pinch of very commercial goth to an already great sound. The music here is so strong that a vocal really isn’t missed, despite Deardarkhead sharing something that would typically find space for a spacey, studio treated voice to bring an extra layer of atmosphere. In and out in a little over three minutes, this single relies on absolutely no padding, and as the last notes fade, you might feel a definite urge to hit the repeat button… An absolutely stunning track.
