New album released by Belgians Deus on October 3, which bears the name Keep you close. You can listen to the new songs online on the following player:



In an interview, frontman Tom Barman mentioned track by track the new album produced by David Botrill. After two years compositions and recordings, the new album is a collective and tiring effort for sure. Barman refers to the insecurities experienced by musicians as they grow older and approaching dangerous thoughts like ' what they do and who is ultimately interested in this '. The new album includes the insecurities and self-destruction, the hangovers and redefining efforts spending days sloppy with insomnia in front of the mirror. That feeling is what Barman took from the composing process.

Barman recognizes that their audience expects an eclectic effort from them and although they are not sure of the result, he says that in a good or bad way they will surely be surprised. For his cooperation with Gregg Dull, a former member of the Afghan Whigs and now the Twilight Singers in the song Twice (we survive), he said that it was a spur of the moment decision, when they met for a drink and he invited him to visit the studio, with the condition that if he goes he should sing. The voice was what he was looking for as it has a unique, raw, rough and grungy tinge.

Some songs are reminiscent of retro romantic pop, while others maintain a more rugged rock sound and there are exceptions with symphonic orchestrations. Barman says that they get very serious about rock and pop music and for that their lyrics are not ironic. They can be entertaining or at least funny (fun or funny), but not 'intellectual". Although they're an alternative rock band, they love the state of pop in the last 40-50 years and they process it, reshaping their songs and that they do out of pure curiosity. The album Keep you close is a composition of nine songs that were selected through a process of 'cleansing' leaving out many pieces that belonged to the pure pop and others where Members of Deus just improvised and composed rough sounds.
