Bedford’s Dog Race have built a following through mysterious, last-minute DIY shows in London, developing a sound that carries an understated sense of tension.
Their latest single, ‘The Leader’, is an icy track interwoven with dark cultish imagery and blends of gothy post-punk, brittle indie-pop and cold wave to create their unique spectral sound.
Accompanied by a folk-horror-inspired video featuring vocalist Katie Healy being buried alive, the visual enhances the track’s eerie atmosphere.
Healy explains, “It sets its narrative around a protagonist who is thrown into inner turmoil when confronted with a fee to cross into the aftkayaerlife, convinced she had already paid her dues”.
