The new cut arrives as the band size-up a stretch of UK Dates this November including an appearance on Friday 18th at Sunderland’s Pop Recs. Tickets on sale now from http://www.dehd.horse/ shows.html

2022 has been the ultimate rollercoaster for rising alt-rockers Dehd. Hitting many millions of streams, playing several sold-out worldwide shows and garnering widespread critical acclaim is just the tip of the iceberg of a whirlwind 6 months, and today they offer a taste of brand new material with “Eggshells”, a song which shows Dehd in a different, more reflective light than ever before.

“Eggshells” is just another example of what makes Dehd so special; a track which swirls with depth and shimmering beauty as the band’s sound outgrows the confines of the bedroom pop that’s been tagged besides their name before today. Taking cues from escapist fantasies and Jodorowsky films, Dehd’s melancholic euphoria turns off all the lights and lets the Utopian tableaux come to life, with the band roaming the desert in search of catharsis and freedom.

Striking a chord with listeners thanks to their dynamic ear for melody and unfiltered songwriting, Dehd are the critically hailed, unashamedly idiosyncratic trio whose unique blend of weirdness, warmth and wit has sparked an adulatory fanbase across the world. Their new album Blue Skies is still Dehd – just more wild and wonderful than ever before. Another jolt of timely hope, only with twice the power.

Following the release of ‘Blue Skies’ earlier this year, the indierock trio will now bring it to the UK for a stretch of headline shows in the Autumn, plus a set at the Pitchfork Music festival in London. Dates are as follows:

UK LIVE DATES Nov 13 London, UK @ Pitchfork Music Festival Nov 16 Bristol, UK @ The Lanes Nov 17 Leeds, UK @ Budenell Social Club Nov 18 Sunderland, UK @ Pop Recs Nov 19 Glasgow, UK @ Oran Mor

Formed in 2015, Dehd are an American three-piece indie rock band from Chicago comprising Jason Balla, Emily Kempf and Eric McGrady. Their latest release ‘Blue Skies’ is their fourth album (and first for Fat Possum) and it’s filled with the most compelling, compulsive, and expansive songs of their career. The follow-up to 2020’s breakthrough record ‘Flower of Devotion’, it offers another jolt of timely hope, only with twice the power. 13 hits that acknowledge how difficult everything from love and sex to living and dying can be, while supplying the inspiration of their own experiences; the album is available to stream in-full here: https://dehd.lnk.to/ BlueSkiesPR Photo Credit: Alexa Viscius
