Iceland’s HATARI are back with their first new release in a couple of years, and also their first since Matthías left the band. New frontman Davíð is presented on new single ‘Breadcrumbs’.
As usual, any sort of critical assessment or even helpful review of their music threatens to miss the point entirely, so it’s best to leave it to the boys themselves to tell us what they’re up to here – in their own colourful, inimitable way, of course:
“Breadcrumbs is a blistering manifesto for humanity’s desperate quest to feel something—anything—in a world meticulously engineered to keep us scrolling, swiping, and spiraling into oblivion. Draped in a chaotic symphony of doom-ridden techno and existential dread, it seduces you with the promise of connection, only to leave you questioning your self-worth. It’s both a siren song and a warning flare, inviting you to dance on the edge of the abyss, whispering ‘follow the breadcrumbs.’”
We’ve chosen that video still in particular to accompany the article as the song sounds like the kind of music you hear when you’re in that kind of room. And honestly… Into it.
