Dehd’s New Direction: Unveiling ‘Poetry’, a Musical Journey

Music aficionados, rejoice! Dehd, the Chicago indie gems revered for their raw and evocative soundscapes, have just announced their latest project. On May 10, through the revered Fat Possum Records, the world will be graced with ‘Poetry’, their fifth studio album which is already stirring waves with its poignant blend of sounds and soul-stirring lyrics.
Their avant-garde approach to songwriting took them from the parched beauty of Taos, New Mexico, to the serene Puget Sound, imbuing the album with a uniquely diverse and rich vibe. As a result, ‘Poetry’ delivers a musical tapestry that weaves raw emotion with the tender fabric of life’s unfolding stories.
- ‘Mood Ring’, the lead single, accompanied by its ethereal music video, serves as the herald to Dehd’s new artistic epoch.
- A historic songwriting odyssey marked the creation of ‘Poetry’, steering the band’s sounds into uncharted territories.
- The album’s genesis, heavily shaped by the beauty of nature and the pulse of city life, is a testament to Dehd’s innovative spirit.
A collaboration with Ziyad Asrar of Whitney offers a fresh co-production perspective alongside Dehd’s own Jason Balla at Palisade Studio, making ‘Poetry’ a standout fusion of independent minds and sounds.
Inspired by the self-affirming prose of Charles Bukowski, ‘Poetry’ is more than an album – it’s an invocation to live life with passion, purpose, and, yes, poetry in all its forms.
