The Dharma Chain lean into a sound that feels expansive right off the bat, something drawn equally from the grit of sixties garage and the haze of nineties shoegaze, reframed through their recent shift from Byron Bay, Australia to Berlin, Germany. That change of place lingers in the atmosphere of new single Red Red Red Red Red, giving it a wider, more restless horizon.
The song unfolds with a krautrock pulse at its core, rhythmic and hypnotic, carrying everything forward without excess. Guitars stretch outward in waves, expanding the space around them, while there’s a confidence in how it holds together, as the weight of it comes from repetition and tone instead of volume.
Released ahead of their upcoming album Some Kind of Pure State, arriving June 5th, 2026 via Spinda Records alongside independent labels, the single offers a clear sense of direction. It’s bold without being overworked, and the accompanying video echoes that same clarity.
