Hamilton’s Allegories have re-emerged to share their first release since 2022’s buoyant and experimental electronic pop record, Endless. The duo have developed “NOSTALGIA KILLS” from a group of twenty song sketches that remained from their previous album process. Band member Adam Bentley reinvented the song’s vocals and lyrics, creating a new direction.
This hazy, melodic piece of dream pop focuses on grand questions. Speaking of the song’s themes, Allegories explain: Why look back? NOSTALGIA KILLS. Why find comfort in a past version of you? NOSTALGIA KILLS. Why cling to what you already know? NOSTALGIA KILLS. Remember when…NOSTALGIA KILLS. If I could only go back to… NOSTALGIA KILLS.

In 2014, the duo known as Allegories began to experiment across genres, melding eclectic soundscapes with pop inclinations. Gathering further inspiration from DJing house and hip-hop nights around town, Allegories went onto create indie-electronic music that shifts throughout the over/underground spectrum.
Allegories’ music is at once earnest and abstract, tricking listeners into the thought that they might be hearing straightforward dance music before the duo’s inherent eccentricities shift interpretation. They deliver unguarded ballads as effortlessly as they develop layers of cut up samples reaching into the worlds of IDM, shoegaze/dream pop, and psychedelia.
