Summer might be over, but the dance floors are still the best place to get heated in the cold season — and you can count on TYDL for that. The Brighton-based duo just released their debut four-track EP, “Ethereal”, a genre-defying sonic experience merging infectious pop vocals and relentless drum beats, drawn from a miscellanea of musical references from Sigrid to Avicii. According to Rebecca and Jack, names behind TYDL, the EP is a collection of songs that emanate villain energy and hype the listener up, emphasising that it doesn’t matter if what you’re doing is “wrong” as long as you’re true to yourself.

Regaining her power, Rebecca shares, “I wanted to create music that reflected the part of me that I had lost.” The title track “Ethereal” is written from the perspective of someone who was obsessed with an imagined love interest and so overwhelmed with lust that she trapped them in a spell that meant they would be together forever. Rebecca explains, “The song is really about how we all have a part of us that can’t be controlled and we need to accept that and use it to our advantage.” Bringing her personal experiences as a teenager to the forefront of the EP, the second track to be released, “God Complex”, is one big sarcastic viewpoint on how people use jealousy as an excuse for bullying.
