ONE's next feature artist is Dead Letter Circus.

When they blasted onto Australian airwaves in 2007, their bombastic yet nuanced take on alternative rock left most observers struggling to process what they were hearing. It was epic, it oozed confidence, it was intense and open all at once. It was the debut of a sound so fresh and unique that it was hard to classify. 

The sound of Dead Letter Circus on This is the Warning (New Album) is more than just a singular representation – rather, it is the redefining of how adrenaline and emotion can be blended seamlessly into works of sonic art; of how soaring melodic adventures can be let fly above a mountain range of raw but somehow channeled rhythmic power. In short, it rocks. But it also catches the light of your reflection and beckons you to look inside yourself. It’s music that lures you towards your speakers, then seizes you by the throat. It’s love, loss, betrayal, humanity, societal norms, questioning, and the search for meaning. And it’s unlike anything you’ve ever heard.

Guitarist Rob Maric explains: “Our aim for the album was to take the sound we established with the EP and explode in every possible direction from there... we wanted to make the big moments more powerful and the spacious moments more ambient. But, more importantly, we wanted those ambient moments to be just as engaging as the rest... to have the listener leaning in, hanging off every note even in the record's most subdued moments.”

The current single from the album is "BIG" which ONE is proud to have as the soundtrack for our AFL promos.  "Big" takes you on a journey through a typically unconventional DLC structure that rewards with an absolutely killer bridge. “Drums are so critically important to our sound, and in Big there’s a vulnerability here when we strip that all away,” says Benzie. The Space on the Wall builds layer upon layer on a foundation of groove and then strips it all away again, leaving the stark question of “Do you feel anything inside anymore? How far will you go?” hanging hauntingly.
