London-based international alt-pop newcomers The Deadmans are pleased to reveal their new single ‘Make Me Prey’, which is set for release on 25th March 2026.
The track is the latest to be taken from their debut self-titled album, The Deadmans, which will be released on 24th April 2026.
‘Make Me Prey’ follows on from the band’s debut single ‘Nice Kid’—which was released earlier this year to enthusiastic nods of approval from key tastemakers at Record of The Day, LOUD WOMEN, At The Barrier—and the sleek, effortlessly cool follow-up ‘If Arizona Didn’t Exist’, which picked up radio support from Maddi Fearn on BBC R1 Future Artists, Sian Eleri at The Selector and more.
The track is accompanied by a typically stunning visualiser from the creative outfit, starring Paige McGarvin, who is currently appearing alongside Ashton Kutcher and Bella Hadid and in FX’s The Beauty.
Written and recorded in Paris, London, Brooklyn, Silverlake (Los Angeles) and Brunswick Heads (Australia), drums on the album were recorded at Up Top Studios in St Albans, with additional production and mixing by Jake Black (Stereo Honey, Sletta) at can.b, and mastered by Ruairi O’Flaherty (Sabrina Carpenter, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Lana Del Rey) at Nomograph Mastering.
Commenting on the single, lyricist LaurenSage Browning says: “’Make Me Prey’ is an acerbic response to being underestimated. It’s made to listen to at full volume while proving to yourself who you are. It bats its eyes teasingly, while biting viciously—an anti-sweet rallying cry and a theme song for unapologetic ambition, a soundtrack for ignoring the noise of other’s opinions as you blindingly focus on your own uninhibited instincts.”
Alongside the new single, the band are also pleased to reveal their debut live performance and immersive album launch event at Elektrowerkz, London on 23rd April 2026—tickets are on sale now (see below for listings).
Part alt-pop band, part living, breathing art project, The Deadmans present their debut live show experience featuring sound artist Paul Cousins. Step into The Deadmans’ music-based visual world, as the band offer an early preview of their forthcoming debut album the night before it’s released to the public.
A two part evening creating an intersection of gig, gallery, theatre performance, and party, the show starts at 7:30pm and ends at 9:00pm. The evening opens with sound artist and composer Paul Cousins, before The Deadmans’ universe is recreated live by director-artists LaurenSage Browning and Harry Deadman, featuring the cinematography and photography of Maximilian McKay.
The album will be performed live in full by Nikki DeParis, Jake Black, Harry Deadman, George Berry, and Elliott Miles Peek. The audience is then invited into a curated art-centric afterparty where pre-release vinyl will be available to purchase.
