The Dead Ends to Release Deeper the Dark, the Brighter We Shine Oct. 20
Greek heavy psych rockers The Dead Ends are streaming two new tracks from their upcoming debut album now. Deeper the Dark, the Brighter We Shine releases on Oct. 20 through Sound Effect Records, and in “Narri-E Narri-O” and “Peter 2:18,” one can hear a classic pop sensibility amid the prominent keys and heavy percussive underpinning. The latter track is more shoegazing and buzzier in its tone, but still, we’re talking late-’60s style psych with a focus on songcraft, and that kind of vibe is almost always welcome by me, all the more so as it comes shaded with melodic elements out of Greek folk.
I haven’t heard the full record yet but hope to sometime prior to the release (the countdown’s on!). From what I’m hearing in “Narri-E Narri-O” and “Peter 2:18” there could be a cool trip in store. I’ve embedded the tracks below. The PR wire brings art, background, vinyl info and other details:

Sound Effect Records proudly present The Dead Ends! Fresh from their opening slot with The Black Angels, Greece’s newest psych-rock demi-gods release their debut album on October 20th.
Filled with lysergic keys, open-space grooves and addictive, folk-tinged melodies, “Deeper the Dark the Brighter We Shine” is among the year’s most pleasant surprises and a must for any psych aficionado.
The Dead Ends are a psychedelic rock trio from Kavala, Greece. The band was formed in 2015. They have expanded their live performance experience having toured extensively around north Greece as well as sharing a stage with bands like The Black Angels, The Last Drive, Headquake, Re-Stoned and many more. In spring 2017 they recorded their debut album entitled “Deeper the dark, the brighter we shine”, which will be released on vinyl by Sound Effect Records.
Influenced by Aphrodites Child, The Doors, Velvet Underground and Pink Floyd and equally inspired by early shoegaze and traditional Greek music, their sound is a sonic amalgamation of expanding melodies and powerful rhythmic motifs, paired with lyrical allegories, resulting in their own neo-psychedelic soundscape.
The Dead Ends are:
Giorgos Sechlidis – keys, vocals
Serios Savvaidis – guitars, vocals
Dimitris Apostolidis – drums, vocals.
