Raw unrelenting guitars pay homage to Scheveningen in Daytime Lingerie’s love letter to the girl that left the city of The Hague and them behind. Their new song “Dead Giveaway” finds the foursome at their most emotionally vulnerable and equally intense as they chronicle a relationship that never was. This tale of caterpillar never turned butterfly is amplified with mixing from Chris Brown (Radiohead) and arpeggiated guitars that give way to full tilt choruses with smashing drums and gratuitous swagger before the song reaches its climactic conclusion. The title Dead Giveaway references what the narrator is sure is something more than friendship in the eyes of his fleeting love. The lack of verbalisation of this feeling being the only thing that stops them from being together. The words that they long to hear never come, and the ending of this relationship feels hauntingly incomplete. Dead Giveaway is Daytime at their most brutal and emotionally distraught.
