Dervisis’ ‘Missing’ is an explorative, albeit reflective post-pop delight, fully equipped with bleeping electronics, percussive beats, pulsing basslines and soulful processed vocal techniques. Evidently this comes from somewhere pure, honest and intuitive, although there’s certainly no reason to stand still while listening to it.

Speaking on the latest single Dervisis explains: “The idea behind “Missing” was to create a pop track describing a needy and dysfunctional relationship, as a metaphor for my relationship with Athens, the city I grew up in. The past decade, due to the crisis (+ decadence of the city, unemployment, shitty jobs, rise of the far right, gentrification, the absence of my friends who left to work abroad etc.) I have developed a weird relationship with Athens and sometimes I prefer missing the city than living here.”
