Water

by DEHD

supported by

Steven Moses A fascinating document of a band finding its groove. It's got a drier sound and is rougher around the edges than "FOD", and some of these tracks feel more like experimental studies in rhythm/texture than proper songs. "Sunbeat" is especially weird, and I love them for it. Favorite track: Sunbeat.

urlovergrl i think of my best friend and the date June 11,2019 Favorite track: Baby.

badgalbina The unique sound of this group is unmatched. Favorite track: On My Side.

about

Love is everyday magic. That’s the impression you get listening to Water, the new album by Chicago trio Dehd. Veterans of Chicago’s increasingly fruitful DIY scene Jason Balla ( Ne-Hi and Earring) Emily Kempf (Vail and formerly with Lala Lala) and drummer Eric McGrady share a strange and inexplicable chemistry. The music is hazy and reverb-drenched, a scuzzy and hyped-up take on surf rock that could only come from the Third Coast. It’s all animated by the red-lining feel-good spirit of the Velvet Underground’s Loaded and the breezy melodicism of C86-era indie rock, with a dash of the Cramps’ spooky-hop bop courtesy of McGrady’s locomotive drumming.It’s a clear-eyed look at the wild nature of everyday life that’s been spun up in sugary sweet melodies and scratched-crystal sounds. More than anything, it’s the embodiment of Dehd’s m.o. from the
start: As Kempf puts it, “Work with what you have and make it magical.”
