Then Thickens - My Amsterdam

This March, Leeds based indie quartet Deadwall release their second studio album, ‘The Zero Cliff’, via Hatch Records. 

Following on from their impressive debut released in 2014, the band have spent the intermittent period rediscovering their potential as a group. “It’s the best band Deadwall has been, I think” explains frontman Thomas Gourley.“Whereas ‘Bukimi no Tani’ was a mix of old and new ideas, ‘The Zero Cliff’ was built from the ground upwards as one solid body of work. It’s also the first recording with a really settled line-up”. 

The ten track collection is inspired by four books specifically; ‘God is Not Great’ by Christopher Hitchens, ‘This Changes Everything’ by Naomi Klein, ‘The Cloudspotter’s Guide’ by Gavin Pretor-Pinney and ‘We’ by Yevgeny Zamyatin. The title itself is a chapter taken from the latter, one that focusses on the human notion of “zero”, and it’s from this assessment that Gourley’s lyrics occasionally refer back to, with zero itself changing meaning and representation. 

“The single overall theme of the record is change, what it means, how we deal with it, view it, impose it, ignore it, fear it, etc. We are all habit addicts. ‘The Zero Cliff’ to my mind is the infinitesimal, and infinite, gap between one thing and another. It is paradoxically infinite and non-existent, and when we change we don’t notice but yet once we change it is inevitably permanent, the gap between life and death you might say.” 

The subject matter doesn’t stop there. Within this overarching idea the record discusses a number of sibling sub-themes; religion, climate change, neo-liberalist economics, the oil & gas industry, death and rebirth and more. The music itself is just as broad, in equal parts shoegaze, alt-pop, college rock and chamber pop. 

‘The Zero Cliff’ will be released on Hatch Records on March 24th.
