Chicago trio Deeper - Shiraz Bhatti
Nic Gohl and Drew McBride - emerged in 2018 with their post-punk self-titled debut. Now they make for a return with its follow-up, 'Auto-Pain', out via Fire Talk on March 27.
With the title inspired by Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, the accompanying press release describes it as “the desire to return to a connection with thoughts and clarity, which comes at the expense of feeling everything simultaneously.”
Check out the nervy, angular 'This Heat' from the record below via Zach Harris's visuals.
"In the dead of Chicago winter, there’s a particular withdrawal from sun exposure that presents a deep contrast to the color and excitement of the city in the summer," they say. "In 'This Heat' we explore this lack of sun and the seasonal depression that sometimes accompanies it. It’s a metaphor for how we cope with particular low points and how euphoric it can feel when the feeling passes — even if momentarily. The song relates to the album as a whole because while the record is about depression, it’s also about finding a way to get better. We wanted to bottle up the hope we feel on the first day over 40 degrees."
Deeper arrive in the UK next month, on tour with Twin Peaks.
