From Casket Cassette, we were captivated by their new single, titled Bouquet. With a groovy electric guitar riff and deep basslines, the moody, full vocals are accompanied in a hypnotic, well-rounded way. The reverb effect used on both the instrumental and vocals creates a satisfying sonic ambience to the track.
With similarities to artists like New Order and The Cure, this track holds the same qualities of darkwave and post-punk music that we love. This single is rich in heavy, haunting textures, mesmerizing your ears. You can hear Casket Cassette live at their Law and Order Tour, starting July 10th, touring around the US.
