“A Flaw In The Iris” is the first single taken from Death And Vanilla new album ‘Are You A Dreamer?’ out 10th May on Fire Records

There’s something about the Swedish city of Malmo that doesn’t add up. Named the “happiest” city in Sweden in 2016 (who gets the job of judging these things?), Malmo’s DNA contains a “none-coding” strain that reveals the city’s penchant for a world more studious, fashioned in a vintage era, telescoped by pop culture that arrives via the TV-approved bridge that connects it to Denmark. Surely, it can’t be the same place.

Marleen Nilsson, Magnus Bodin and Anders Hansson of Death And Vanilla couldn’t come from anywhere else. They are dreamers, antiquarians, music-obsessed individuals, lauded by the media for their last album ‘To Where The Wild Things Are’ from 2015…

‘A Flaw In The Iris’ Lyrics:
And what if I stay,
this time
And what if they don’t
They go blind
I wanna stay just
Just stop
I wanna stay down
And I just x 4
