Dama Scout revel in dramatic contrasts on deliciously raw new track "Milky Milk"

Despite the name, it's decidely not twee and/or smooth - it's actually pretty blimmin' vicious. Serrated pillars of guitar stab out of the swampy melee, with sparse angles and edges giving way to walls of noise seemingly at random. It's a gruff and uncompromising five-plus-minute saga that picks you up by the scruff of your neck and gives you a bit of a shake.

"'Milky Milk' is a song about making the most of fleeting happiness and accepting its irregularity," the trio explain ."We move from the intimacy of Eva [Liu]’s voice into noisy sections whilst keeping the arrangement simple and live with few overdubs. Instead of a vocal chorus we chose to play a straightforward major scale in unison washed in doom and sludge. We wanted an elastic performance, building tension through the push and pull of dynamics and tempo - culminating in the euphoric end section that hopefully comes as a relief. When we put the song together we’d been listening to a mixture of Dave Okumu, Can, Francois Hardy, and Earth."

The band have a run of UK shows that kicks off next month at Bristol's Louisiana. Find out Dama Scout's full live plans.
