DEAFCULT – Auras

Auras is a record about dreams; the ghosts of people, places and situations past that haunt our nights sleep, or lack-thereof.

The acclaimed Deafcult debut album started drawing attention in immediately. After 2015’s self-titled demo, the Brisbane six-piece sought to go further towards the margins —noisier, more precise, more dense, simply more. And yet, they became something much closer to a guitar-pop band in the process. From a certain angle, they are. Auras has anthems firmly planted throughout, often behind the fuzz and haze, sometimes pushed to abstraction. But even in its most distorted moments, there is a gentleness to the music. Auras is reflecting on some overwhelming themes, after all.
