UK INDIE ROCKERS THIS IS THE DEEP CHANNEL THE POST DIGITAL AGE WITH "SIMULATOR"
Lo-fi indie rock has been dominating the airways recently all over the world. This Is The Deep is taking advantage of the craze with their new single ‘Simulator’.
Drawing influences from bands like The Beach Boys and Talk Show, This Is The Deep have a very unique blend of authentic guitar, bass, and drum formula with a modern twist. One of the things in this song that sticks out is the bass. It has a very funky distinct riff that drives the song and almost invokes a type of psych/disco feel to it.
The vocals are very unique as well, the singer has a distinct voice that blends very well with the instrumentation of the band. An interesting fact about this song: they incorporate the use of an audio sample of one of the band member’s 8-year-old cousin who is talking about gaming. I think the use of samples in a full band setting can provide a whole new feel to the tune and This Is The Deep executed this very well in their single.
The synth and keyboard work is very well done and has tasteful layering. There is a keyboard break about 2 and half minutes in that is accompanied by the audio sample that meshes very well with the overall feel of the song.
I highly recommend this group and would love to see them live one day! You can find This Is The Deep’s new single “Simulator” on all streaming platforms now!
