Today’s semi-obscure band of choice: Demontré, a three piece post-punk/shoegaze trio from London. They take bits and pieces from bands like Joy Division, Bauhaus, Josef K and Pere Ubu but also include psychedelic guitars and a certain Interpolesque sensibility in their songs. While they have been around for a while (2006-2007) and should by now be enjoying the fruits of the media’s sudden interest with The Horrors and co, they have only just released their debut single, Brandenburg. The song features spoken words backed by shoegaze guitars and a big post-punk chorus. The video draws its influence from the omnipresent Joy Division and their Love Will Tear Us Apart and is undeniably elegant. It’s one of the things that will forever make us, followers of the new London scene, think that the bands we love and cherish so would be huge if only properly promoted (just like fans of 80s indie pop used to say about their bands).
