Synth-pop outfit Disaster Fantasy have shared their new track ‘The Hourglass’. The single is taken from an upcoming EP which is scheduled to land April 3rd.

The song is a dark, seductive cut that is driven by pulsing synth lines and mid-tempo drum programming. What could be a soundtrack to an after hours club or late night hedonistic endeavors, ‘The Hourglass’ is a smokey and mood-enhancing track that is truly enjoyable.

Touching on the song, Disaster Fantasy’s Ryann Donnelly stated:

“This will be the most conceptually-driven thing we’ve released. ‘The Hourglass’ is a whole world. The stories in the songs are told from the perspective of characters who have some connection to a fictional bar in Los Angeles called The Hourglass. We’re huge Lynch fans, and The Hourglass could easily be compared to One Eyed Jack’s from Twin Peaks or Silencio from Mulholland Drive- bad things happen there; it’s mysterious and crooked, and there’s maybe even some esoteric, metaphysical force under the surface…

It’s a fairly direct metaphor for time; but specifically, the fear of time running out. Every character is these songs has an anxious relationship to time. In reality, this was something I was dealing with in the writing of the words and melodies for these songs. Byron and I often have limited time in which to write and record and it ended up coming through thematically.”
