“Our Day Will Come” by Dead Can Dance

The latest Dead Can Dance single is precisely what we’ve all come to expect from the iconic duo, with Brendan Perry’s rich and timeless voice intoning over somber strings and Lisa Gerrard’s bright dulcimer. It’s by turns haunting, reverent, and esoteric, but also rooted in the here and now: 50% of the song’s sales will be donated to Medical Aid for Palestinians.

“Our Day Will Come” also signals a change in how Dead Can Dance will be releasing their music moving forward. An announcement on the band’s website states that all future Dead Can Dance releases will “be sold exclusively via Bandcamp on our very own Holy Tongue Records label.” More:

We have decided to no longer support streaming platforms that continue to exploit artists and promote AI generated music. In future we will sell our music directly to the public via Bandcamp, a platform that continues to support independent artists and which has commendably banned all forms of AI generated music, a technology that threatens the very life and soul of our profession.

Dead Can Dance has promised to release new songs on a regular basis throughout 2026, each of which will be accompanied by a PDF containing lyrics and original artwork from Perry.
