London-based slowcore/post-rock quartet deathcrash have shared their new single “Triumph”. Released through untitled (recs), the influential UK label behind Lauren Auder, Jerskin Fendrix and more, “Triumph” is a shimmering, heartbreaking ballad of love lost to past mistakes, and a sonic acceptance that you can’t change things, only learn from them and move on. 

“This song is about fighting the urge to drive into oncoming traffic” the band comment. “It marks Patrick’s return to songwriting. It shows that growing up is no ‘triumph’, but an occasionally graceful and occasionally bitter acceptance of who you are now.”

deathcrash is a four-piece slowcore band comprised of Noah Bennett (drums), Patrick Fitzgerald (bass), Matthew Weinberger (guitar) and Tiernan Banks (vocals/guitar). Despite coming to prominence with other South London sensations such as Black Country, New Road, Jerskin Fendrix, Sorry and Black Midi, deathcrash have always had a distinctly mysterious energy about them, the shy kids in the corner quietly constructing something grand.

They released their debut album Return in January 2022, a statement record standing at 65-minutes, hailed by Loud and Quiet as “an embarrassment of musical riches that is only matched by the depth of evocations that haunt the record”. Not ones to rest, the band decamped to the Outer Hebrides just 6 months after this release to record Less, their sophomore record that is a focussed and lean progression of their sound, and was released to critical acclaim. The record was followed by a suite of remixes including collaborations with Water From Your Eyes & Mandy, Indiana. “Triump” marks the band’s first new release in over two years. 

Tomorrow evening the band will perform at London’s Corsica Studios as part of Pitchfork Festival, and they’ve just announced an extensive 2026 UK & EU tour, along with a show at New York’s Night Club 101 on February 26th. Tickets on-sale HERE.
