Leeds based duo Denton Thrift bring us the first single from their upcoming EP released. Originally hailing from Northern Ireland and Devon, the pair met while studying music at University. They first began song writing during their year abroad in Denton, Texas, later using this as inspiration for their name. Following the two previous singles of Sweetest Taboo and Fear In the Night, the new track Confessional offers more of Denton Thrift’s rich vocal harmonic textures blended with delicate electronic instrumentation. Their new EP, titled Sight, is set for release this summer via Majestic Casual.
Commenting on the track, they’ve said, “Confessional is a song written from the perspective of someone struggling with mental illness while trying to keep a relationship together. Having the realisation that they might not ever recover from the illness, their only choice is to confess to their partner that they may not ever be capable of change, hoping that the truth will solidify them. In a bittersweetness they know their partner will not leave, however, they cannot reconcile with their decision to stay.”
