Death In Vegas - COUM / Lightning Bolt (Live Versions)

Death in Vegas return with a new 12” featuring two live tracks, both recorded at EartH Theatre in London.

On the A side is COUM, a laconic, sexy, dark wave track born out of a recording session for Black Acid, Richard Fearless' New York psyche project, at Keyclub recording studio in Michigan. Fearless always felt that it belonged to the Death in Vegas camp, and he released a reworked version on DIV’s Trans Love Energies. Here, atmospheric, reversed synths drive the Linn drum beat, while new DIV collaborator Surgeon’s Girl’s ethereal synths float in and out sealing the magic.
On the reverse, Death in Vegas summon the dead with a stunning ambient version of Lightning Bolt, another song off Trans-Love Energies, and one that catches Death in Vegas at their most fragile

Both songs were recorded live in 2025 at EartH Theatre in Dalston, London by Jamie Harley and later mixed by Nick Powell. Watch a clip of the show here - https://youtu.be/RRmyJ6Ta3ww
