S.A.D La playlist du mois : les 20 morceaux qu’il ne fallait pas manquer en Octobre 2019

Even the tightest relationships are susceptible to unexpected change. “Run”, a new single from Chicago’s Deeper, examines what happens when we’re forced to confront the reality of these relationships and find the courage to walk away for the better. It’s not easy to abandon that image of who we thought we were, but it’s the leap into the unknown that’s the first step to self-actualizing. At first the song wrestles with identity amidst uncertainty, but as it progresses, a confidence emerges that has become the driving force for where Deeper is headed. Backed by an astutely scientific cover of the John Maus rarity “Bennington”, Deeper sheds the searching bottled up in previous material, carving out an ambit distinctly their own. Brisk, pointed and efficient, and no note wasted, “Run” b/w “Bennington” a new 7 Inch out in October 2019 sets the stage for the Chicago trio’s sophomore LP.

Dead Rituals is an alternative rock band founded by Andrea Caccese.

Over the past 15 years, he has been traveling and writing music with various bands and collaborators. This new project stems from sessions recorded in New York City, Melbourne, and Naples, amidst significant life changes.

The bustle of downtown Manhattan. A remote beach town on the Pacific coast. Historic alleys and hidden pathways in the heart of the Italian South. Each place affected the songs, and each track explores different ideas, held together by the personal lyrics.

The four songs on Dead Rituals' debut EP capture the immediacy of punk and alternative music. They also incorporate the textures of new-wave, noise, and shoegaze.

"Run" combines punk-pop with throwback influences, like Phil Spector's Wall of Sound.
Lead single "Closer" is a jangly indie tune, with anthemic hooks and intimate vocals.
"Melbourne" channels the grit of punk rock, with gloomy new-wave atmospheres, setting a darker mood. Closing track "Enough" juxtaposes experimental sounds with melodic vocal lines and uplifting hooks.
