Dehd announce new album with lead cut "Loner"
Chicago trio Dehd are back with details of their new album Flower of Devotion, which arrives with the lead single "Loner".
"Loner" is the group's first single since last year's "Letter", which will also feature on their follow up to last year's Water album.
Vocalist Emily Kempf says of their new outing, "It’s okay to be lighthearted in the face of despair. Being alone and grieving is very isolating, but then you come out of your little cave of grief, and your friends and family and partner are all there to pat you on the back and hold you until you have to go back into the cave of grief alone."
Flower of Devotion will follow last year's Water LP. Comparing the two, Kempf adds, "The last record the vibe was ‘How minimal can it be? What’s the minimum that a song requires to succeed?’ This one was like, ‘How can we make this thing that’s really powerful?'"
Kempf adds that while they were writing the new album, "we [Jason Balla, vocals and guitar] both went through hell, literally, and the world seems to be going through hell, too." Balla says the album is "all the fixes you try to put on your problems, struggling with bad impulses."
