It's been three long years since the release of the last dEUS studio album Vantage Point and the Belgium group are now set to release their follow-up album Keep You Close on 30th of September.
As the title suggests, Keep You Close sees lead singer and lyricist Tom Barman react to Vantage Point with a determination to return the band to a more personal lyrical style and a warmer musical approach. Whilst still immensely proud of Vantage Point, Tom felt that its follow up should move away from that album’s ‘very loud, in your face’ sound.
Consequently, much of the focus of Keep You Close has been to develop a sound that embraces a more organic and spacious dynamic. To aid this process, and in stark contrast to the studio bound writing approach of Vantage Point, the songs that make up Keep You Close were road tested live at festivals throughout the writing and recording period and developed through live rehearsals within the studio to, in Tom’s words, ensure that they were ‘more mature when it came to recording them’.
See below for a test-drive of Keep You Close. Enjoy..
