Review: Kaya Street unveil their debut single “Dancing Into Darkness”

Dancing Into Darkness is a leering blend of broken drums, deep bass and shimmering guitar. Introspective lead vocals combine with eerie samples of laughter and a repeated spoken phrase of ‘we’re dancing into darkness’. The arrangement is sparse and dark. The first verse is the only verse as the chorus builds into a mutedly euphoric instrumental. Indie flavoured guitar swirls above the gloomy, anxious beat as what sounds like wolves snarl in the background.

The track is accompanied by a gorgeous video from Got Soul Films directed by Sean Delahay.

Kaya Street are a Bristol based five piece consisting of Kaya, Elio AM, Sisanda, Alice, Harvey and Mark. Since forming last year they have played live across Bristol, but ‘Dancing Into Darkness’ marks their first official release.
