debdepan are Margate based female duo Chelsea Tolhurst and Grace Bontoft. They formed in March 2022 after writing together during the Covid lockdowns. They have have released a hauntingly, captivating emotional single called “Ghost”. It charts some deep, dark gothic waters with a pinch of baroque style. There is an air of depressive fragility in the verses and then a magnificent chorus that explodes through the darkness like a huge solar flare. The song is taken from their upcoming EP, ‘Lovers & Others’, which will be out on Silent Kid Records on 28th November. debdepan said this of the track “This song had to feel like a journey – slightly hopeful initially and slowly turning a little bit dark with insecurity coming in and then the chorus feeling like a total release of emotions. It needed a big fat pop chorus to juxtapose the dark and miserable verses. This song was recorded with Mike Collins and Mike had a wicked idea to layer a bunch of guitars in the middle 8 to really build some tension“. The video has Chelsea and Grace dressed as classic sheet covered ghosts and is a lot of fun! I just know that the new EP will be an instant classic when it arrives!
