Dublin based dream-pop act Daäg Hur are currently streaming their new track ‘Hanging On The Sea’. 

Wasting little time in the opening section, the visceral swaying haze of dream-pop influenced guitar creates a wall of crashing and clashing harmonics that rumble beneath the song throughout.

At the core of the track is a lead vocal provided by Lydia Des Dolles. Serene, enchanting and performed with a sense of isolation Des Dolles confidently keeps focus within this sheer textural body of sound, never becoming engulfed or weighed down by it.

Populated by a harmonically dense soundscape that imposes itself upon the listener, a culmination of Shell Dooley’s tense washes of noise driven guitar  and Des Dolles menacing yet serenely performed vocals, ‘Hanging On The Sea’ captures a definite mood and tone with its dream-pop leanings and cohesive style.

Making an impressive statement of intent Daäg Hur’s latest track identifies the group within the growing spectrum of Ireland’s bustling alternative-rock and noise-pop scene, while also conveying enough individuality in sound to give them a sense of singular identity.

It will be interesting to hear how the band develops from this affecting starting point.
