Today, Atlanta post-punk band CDSM (short for Celebrity Death Slot Machine) announce their debut EP Hell Stairs and share their first single: “GFH”.

On “GFH,” CDSM eases our existential pain with a postmodern disco scorcher. The World literally and metaphorically crumbles around us, surrender to soothing rhythm sections, ferocious saxophone bursts and manic synth modulations, as we are told of the wonders of hedonism.

Nightmarish and eerie, “GFH” is a dark-wave epic following the story of a wayward young man who gets into trouble and ends up becoming an undercover cop. Eventually, he is killed on the job and is resurrected as a rat. The Rats’ lives end up being similar, except he is sent off to war where he unfortunately has to kill his own.

The debut single from the Atlanta-based goth-punk collective is recommended to fans of Viagra Boys, The Voidz, Fat White Family. Filled with swirling synths and devilish basslines, “GFH” takes listeners into the thrilling depths of a smoky underground rave, a lucid dream, a post-apocalyptic odyssey. The music video is the perfect visual accompaniment to the track: wildly creative cartoon animation that feels both psychedelic and thoroughly immersive. Watch the video here and below.

Don’t forget to keep an eye out for the band’s debut EP, Hell Stairs, out April 29th on Mothland. CDSM’s next EP is both glamorous and dark, classy and derelict, uplifting and overwhelming.
