DEAFCULT – AURAS

SECOND PRESSING – Clear with pink and blue splatter, limited to 500 copies. Long awaited debut album from Brisbane’s soaring shoegaze 6-piece. AURAS by DEAFCULT, is a record about dreams; the ghosts of people, places and situations past that haunt our nights sleep, or lack-thereof. After quickly selling out of their demo LP (released by Blackwire Records) and numerous runs of shows around the country already, anticipation is high for their debut. It reflects on romanticised memories as a disaffected teenager in the suburbs, tales of love, drugs, death, and the overwhelming feeling of finding yourself but still feeling completely lost. The 12 songs that make up Auras are wrapped in noisey guitars, blunted drums, fuzzed-out synth and soaring vocals. While on paper it might sound initially abrasive, there is an overwhelming sense of gentleness to Deafcult’s music that you find calm in, even when they push past the boundaries of abstraction – even when you find yourself deep in Auras most distorted moments.
