The world of Dehd (short for Dream Eagles Heavy Dreams) is one of heavy images: Cigarettes glowing in the moonlight. Chains on exposed skin. Motorcycle chrome, fake Gucci sunglasses. Poetry, the trio's fifth album, takes its listeners on a fourteen-track journey into the world of romantic summer nights, intoxicating feelings and the question: why hope when you know that things end and hearts break? The album by the band from Chicago, which moves somewhere between post-punk, wall of sound and dream pop, was created on a road trip through New Mexico: the three drove through the barren landscape with a van full of equipment, warmed themselves by campfires, were inspired by the tranquillity of nature and worked on their music until the solar panels gave up the ghost and left them to the silence of the night - a romantic, almost wistful mood that is repeatedly refracted and condensed in their sound. Nobody writes about love like Dehd, probably the only band that manages to make even a broken heart sound inviting. Guitars with massive reverb, idiosyncratic vocals, call-and-response structures, blunt drumming and the use of counter-melodies have already earned Dehd comparisons with the Cocteau Twins, guitarist and singer Jason Balla also cites Broadcast and Cate Le Bon as significant influences. Guitarist and singer Emily Kempf's influences - James Brown, Roy Orbison, Dolly Parton - give her sound a shimmering side that has been delighting fans since 2015. Since their first album, Dehd have earned a firm place in the hearts of their fans on their tours, including the Netherlands, Germany, the UK and France, releasing albums and EPs almost every year and proving themselves time and again with their unpretentious, dreamy charm, plenty of theatricality and a unique sense of humor: They are here to stay. In 2025, fans in Germany can look forward to shows in Hamburg and Munich.
