Dear Sherlock return with triumphant new single ‘Apophis’

After a period away from the spotlight, multi-million-streamed Anglo-Portuguese rock duo Dear Sherlock return with their powerful new single ‘Apophis’, a release that finds the band channelling personal struggle into one of their most compelling songs to date.

Comprised of Eduardo Lemos and James E. Gray, the Hull-and-Madrid-based outfit have steadily built an international following through their blend of melodic alternative rock and emotionally charged songwriting. Since performing at the iconic Rock in Rio festival in Lisbon and releasing their debut album Object of Ridicule in 2023, Dear Sherlock have continued to establish themselves as one of the more exciting independent acts operating between the UK and European rock scenes.

With ‘Apophis’, the duo return in emphatic fashion. The track weaves together muscular guitar work, soaring vocal melodies and expansive arrangements that constantly shift between moments of tension and release. Fierce riffs collide with more reflective passages, creating a sense of movement that mirrors the song’s emotional journey.

As the first taste of the band’s next chapter, ‘Apophis’ serves as a confident reminder of Dear Sherlock’s ambitious songwriting, dynamic musicianship and an ability to turn deeply personal experiences into songs that resonate far beyond themselves. For longtime followers and new listeners alike, it marks an exciting return from a duo with plenty more still to say.
