New Music: HighSchool - Dipped

HighSchool is a Melbourne-based indie rock trio known for their distinctive sound that blends post-punk's brooding atmosphere with the hazy, nostalgic feel of shoegaze. They've built a reputation for crafting songs that are both danceable and deeply melancholic, with a sound that feels simultaneously modern and like a forgotten classic from the early '80s.

The song "Dipped" is a track from the band's catalog that perfectly encapsulates this dark, atmospheric style. The song is a hypnotic, bass-driven anthem with a sense of quiet dread that permeates every note. The lyrics, with their sparse and evocative imagery, paint a picture of a relationship that feels toxic and all-consuming. The title itself suggests a descent, as if the narrator is "dipped" in a moment of emotional turmoil. The track’s sound, with its shimmering guitars and a disembodied vocal delivery, creates a sense of detachment, making the song feel like a ghostly waltz through a deserted dance hall.
