The final curtain falls, or perhaps, a mirrored door swings open. Lucrecia Dalt’s new single “no death no danger” is the last glimpse into the sonic labyrinth of her forthcoming album, From A Danger to Ourselves, arriving September 5 via RVNG Intl. It’s a track that, much like the album itself, turns inward, stripping away the sci-fi narratives of ¡Ay! to explore the perilous intimacy of human connection.
“no death no danger” is not a ballad of blissful union, but a disquieting conversation with oneself. Dalt’s speak-singing glides over Alex Lazaro’s insistent percussion and Cyrus Campbell’s serpentine basslines. The rhythm section, a familiar anchor from ¡Ay!, here provides a propulsive yet unnerving foundation for a piece inspired by Jean Cocteau’s Orpheus and the myth of Medusa. As Dalt whispers of tears rising up behind a mirrored door, the song ascends into a storm of overdriven slide guitar and spectral whoops, a sonic transcription of a stark, dark night of the soul.
The accompanying video, directed by Tony Lowe, is a hypnotic abstract performance. Dalt and Lazaro move in a choreography of rhythmic and spectral collisions, their forms captured in an unsettling elegance that echoes the song’s central tension—the decision to cross the portal behind one’s own image. From A Danger to Ourselves is a fearless document of this process, a collaboration with luminaries like David Sylvian, who co-produced the album, and Juana Molina, that reveals Dalt’s uncompromising quest for a revelatory inner world. With “no death no danger,” she offers a final, shimmering invitation to step through the looking glass.
Lucrecia Dalt’s A Danger to Ourselves arrives Friday, September 5 2025 on RVNG Intl. in vinyl, CD, and digital editions.
