Dehd unveil new cut "Flood"

17 June 2020, 12:51 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Chicago's Dehd are back with "Flood", a third taster of their new album Flower of Devotion.

"Flood" lands after previous singles "Loner" and "Letter", and arrives with a visual co-directed by Andrew Miller and Dehd's Emily Kempf.

Vocalist Kempf says of their new outing, "Falling in love with someone is like becoming water. A flood is powerful, uncontrollable, devastating. Water can nourish or destroy."

Flower of Devotion will be Dehd's first LP since last year's Water.

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."

"Flood" is out now. Dehd's Flower of Devotion album will be released 17 July via Fire Talk, and is available to pre-order now.
