Chicago band Deeper have announced Careful!, their third album and first for Sub Pop, which will be out September 8. “I wanted these to be interesting songs, but in a way where a two-year-old would vibe out to it,” Nic Gohl says. “It’s pop music, basically.”
The album includes recent single “Sub” and they’ve just shared “Build a Bridge,” which has the band’s signature guitar interplay and hooky melodic sense. “‘Build a Bridge’ was the first song written remotely in a new format that would come to define the writing process of Careful!,” the band say. “In the early days of the band, we would throw shit at the wall in our practice space and see what stuck. Being forced to stay in our apartments during lockdown allowed us to apply more intention to a song and really dissect it piece by piece.”
The “Build a Bridge” video was directed by Austin Vesely and has the members of Deeper hooked up to a machine that sends them into an alternate reality. There’s a little Inception by way of Primer going on here. Watch below.
Deeper recently wrapped up a tour opening for Future Islands and they’ve just announced fall dates with Godcaster then Mia Joy. The NYC show is on September 27 at Brooklyn Made with Godcaster.
