Dehd's new album is out this Friday. We spoke with the band about how refused to second-guess themselves on 'Blue Skies'
’s greatest strengths is their ability to write disarmingly simple songs. As a trio, they’re a band that embraces their limits to make the most of what they have: Emily Kempf’s powerful, shout-sung vocals and effortless basslines, Jason Balla’s reverb-heavy, single-string guitar melodies, and Eric McGrady’s insistent, pulsing percussion. The Chicago indie rockers don’t need anything more than that.
“The record got more instrumentally complex, but there aren’t a million different parts going on,” Balla explains in a separate phone call. “Everything is built to add texture and support what’s happening in the vocals and the emotions that are going on there.”This time around, the key difference in the band’s creative process was that they allowed themselves more time in the studio. Balla has produced every Dehd record, and he reprised his role at the helm for.
As for the producer’s take, Balla estimates that “95%” of the band’s songs stem from them jamming in their practice space together. “I always write about love,” she says. “I go in and out of beating myself up about that, like ‘Why can’t you write about anything else?’ But it’s always crushes, finding love, losing love, love with friends, the one you can’t have. Every form of love that you can write about, I tend to be very skilled at doing.”. It’s an aspect of the record that resonates with both members.
