A dreamy post-punk vigor consumes across “Dirty Persuasion,” the debut single from Undead Living, a duo comprising Avery Deering and Harrison Reed. Coming ahead of their debut EP, out this summer, “Dirty Persuasion” excels in its moody guitar lines and steady post-punk pulse.
Deering’s dynamic vocal presence enthralls alongside, progressing seamlessly from haunting introspection in the verses into a more elongated yearning — “all night long, I dream.” The “run away / never gonna get away,” drive for escapism continues the compelling arsenal, furthered by stylish guitar work past the three-minute turn. “Dirty Persuasion” is a fantastic debut from this quickly ascending duo, who have been creating music together since 2022.
