The group’s sound is openly and proudly Anglophilic, combining both elements of the blissout shoegazer scene and a slightly older vein of post-punk guitar experimentalism, making a rich combination between the two influences. Words like atmospheric, ethereal and dreampop are often used to describe their original guitar driven, psychedelic storm of sound that balances moody textures and shimmering melodies.
They have played with the likes of Supergrass, The Psychedelic Furs, Everclear and The Lilys, to name a few.
deardarkhead has released five recordings, since forming, on their own Fertile Crescent Records label. Their music has also appeared on various indie compilations from the USA and Japan and can be purchased online via the iTunes store. Captured Tracks released a retrospective of their early material called Oceanside: 1991-1993 as the second contribution to their Shoegaze Archives series at the end of 2011.
Fish
Deardarkhead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
a meno che non vuoi bruciare
Scegli il male non il bene
e ti lascio qui in catene
Scegli il bene non il male
Geova ti sa perdonare
Scegli il male non il bene
non vorrai farlo soffrire
ti saprà ricompensare
Scegli il male e il tuo culo
Satana vorrà stuprare
Geova di queste cagate non ne vuole veder più
Odiale
anche
tu
The lyrics to Deardarkhead's song Fish are in Italian, and they roughly translate to:
"Choose good, not evil
unless you want to burn
Choose evil, not good
and I'll leave you in chains
Choose good, not evil
Jehovah will forgive you
Choose evil, not good
you won't want to make him suffer
Choose good and great Jehovah
will reward you
Choose evil and your ass
Satan will want to rape
Jehovah doesn't want to see this shit anymore
Hate it
even
you"
The lyrics seem to be exploring the concepts of good and evil, and their consequences. The first two lines seem to suggest that choosing evil can lead to negative consequences, while choosing good can lead to forgiveness from a higher power. The mention of Satan and Jehovah suggests a religious context, where these two entities represent opposing forces. The last line could be interpreted as a call to reject harmful behavior and attitudes.
Overall, the lyrics to Fish are cryptic and open to interpretation, but they seem to be encouraging the listener to choose their actions carefully and consider the consequences before deciding.
