NOLA trio Bent Denim caught our ears with the muffled beauty of their latest single, “All My Friends Are Dead.” Focusing on beautiful, narrative-driven songs, BD jams lo-fi sentiment into a succinct 2:15. “AMFAD” is fleshed out with hush-hush vocals and a hooky piano motif that is sure to please any fan of indie pop, bedroom pop, dream pop, or *insert modifier here* pop. Check out their latest release via Bandcamp.
Sleepy ‘NyQuil pop’ duo Bent Denim patents the soundtrack to your next lucid dream with their latest track “Miss You, Kid.” The song feels subtly out of focus, surrounded in a cloudy fog of murmured vocals, faint synths, and haunting harmonies, all while smooth guitar lines and understated percussion keep it all anchored to reality. There’s a sort of intimacy and realness to the thoughtful sluggishness, like slowly sinking into something warm and comfortable. If you like what you’re hearing, hang in there for the April release of their EP Diamond Jubilee and allow Bent Denim to soothe away all your springtime worries.
