New music out today. I think it's a surprise as I hadn't seen any teasers on it. Nice to have them back after 18 months away.

This goes HARD ooft

18 months? I feel like they never went away.

I miss their "Time" with Delilah era, I mean more melodic d'n'b

Backbone was their last release in August 2024. They have been touring though

This single came out on Warner. Have they moved from EMI/Universal to Warner then?

Was lucky enough to see them on tour last year, this is so good!!!!

So it would appear that these guys cannot just drop a tune and it takes off as the surprise release of this has meant no impact at all. Backbone had such a huge social media presence that it always felt destined to be big but this has kinda plopped into the ocean and sank.

Having had time to listen to it it does feel like trend chasing. I'm not sure why D&B has had to turn into this "let's make a crazy drop that is almost unlistenable" vibe but it isn't always needed? A track like this, whilst good, perhaps has just been lost in the plethora of others within the genre that sounds the same and so it doesn't matter who makes it there's only a niche that really enjoy it (aka the festival goer) and will relisten to it.

I'm not saying everything they make has to be a chart hit either and they're certainly not looking for one with this I guess, it just feels a little bit directionless.
