If you've not ventured into the achingly perfect, ultra-stylised world of Daphne Guinness before, you're in for a treat. Her new single 'Volcano' came to her during a train ride through pouring rain towards Hamburg, where she decided the man sitting opposite her was a 1930s-era German spy thanks to a particularly espionage-worthy suitcase. This led to thoughts of Marlene Dietrich in 'Shanghai Express' and how that would be the perfect juxtaposition to '60s surf guitars and Electro beats. In her hands, all of those elements combined have led to one of the best pop songs of 2023 so far.
