PREMIERE: Dungeon Dogs - A Forest (The Cure cover)

The Brvtalist is pleased to present Dungeon Dogs’ cover of the goth anthem, “A Forest”. Originally written by The Cure, it takes the listener on a new heart-pounding, syn-thillating journey into the heart and mind of Dungeon Dogs. Think haunting vocals in the vein of Nick Cave and I Wanna Be Your Dog-era Iggy Pop with a blend of Chris Isaak’s Wicked Game.

Respecting the integrity of the original version, Dungeon Dogs’ cover is a refreshingly new and extended take on its source material. The lush, aural atmosphere will envelope you with shining reverberations of warm and fuzzy synthesizer waves. While the beat reflects the original from The Cure, new offerings in rhythm and sonic explorations emerge.

“This being my favorite song by The Cure, I always wanted it to go on twice as long. Often finding myself just keeping this song on repeat. So I performed a version of it where the song wavers and explores a little bit more, similar to how The Cure plays A Forest live.” - Nick Filth aka Dungeon Dogs.

This is an exceptional release and we look forward to more. Pick up here now.
