Dive Bell Lupine

Sydney's Dive Bell exhibit their mysterious, divergent sound with 'Lupine', their cut through first release of 2019.

Shaping a truly vast and cinematic soundscape with their blend of alt-rock, electronica and trip-hop, 'Lupine' sees haunting harmonies effervesce around brutal guitar tones and shimmering synth lines. Initially striking with its raw digital crunch, this dissolves effortlessly to reveal a lush final quarter full of bright optimistic tones. "I was inspired by a doco I watched which delved deep into the territorial nature of wolves. It raised themes around belonging and entrapment, freedom and repression - which I explore lyrically in the track," singer/keyboardist Aleesha Dibbs explains.

Voyaging to the wolves' nomadic habitat, the music video adds to the wonder, catapulting viewers into a seemingly ethereal world. Far from civilisation and shot on location in the Snowy Mountains, the clip sees Aleesha running amongst the wild. "It involved the most intense cold I've ever experienced, a substantial amount of time on the freeway and a real-life 'Man from Snowy River,'" she jokes.

Having shared the stage with the likes of as Jonti, VOWWS, Body Type, Party Dozen, Lucianblomkamp, VOWWS, 100, Exhibitionist and A Swayze & The Ghosts, four-piece DIVE BELL have captivated audiences from all across the musical spectrum. Cementing themselves in both the local and national scene, their previous singles have seen support from the likes of FBi Radio and Rage.

With this just the edge of Dive Bell's exciting musical direction, dive in and don't look back.

'Lupine' is out everywhere now.
