Chicago trio Dehd release a new album, Poetry, on May 10 via Fat Possum. Now they've shared his second single, “Light On.” They've also announced some new UK and EU tour dates. Check out the song, as well as all their tour dates, below.
The band's Jason Balla said of the new single in a press release: “This song is like a candle in the window, a light that leads someone back home if they were trying to find it.”
Previously, the band shared the album's first single, “Mood Ring,” via a music video. It was one of the songs of the week.
Poetry is the sequel to 2022 Blue skies (also in Fat Possum) and 2020 Flower of Devotion (which was released by Fire Talk).
Dehd is Emily Kempf, Jason Balla and Eric McGrady. After they finished the tour Blue skies, the band began some writing sessions in remote locations. “Eating, sleeping, breathing, living – our only purpose was to write,” Kempf says in a press release.
Whitney's Ziyad Asrar co-produced the album with Balla, recording at Palisade Studios in Chicago. Charles Bukowski's poem “The Laughing Heart” inspired the album.
