After hitting a stride with their 2020 breakout record Flower of Devotion, followed by their radiant Fat Possum debut Blue Skies in 2022, Dehd did something different. They turned a writing session into a road trip. With a van full of recording equipment they headed to Kempf’s off-grid Earthship in New Mexico where they chopped wood to keep warm and worked for as long as the solar panels held a charge. They then traveled north to a borrowed cabin surrounded by the chilly waters of the Puget Sound, where the hours were marked only by the movement of the tide.
The album Poetry represents a journey as vast and nuanced as the American landscape Dehd traveled to write it. It’s fitting that the final words of the album come in the form of a question, because as Dehd would have us see it, we have a choice: to play it safe or to risk it all and live life like Poetry.
Dudes this is a Crazy Awesome Video...i award you an Academy Award...song is Awesome. Grammy! "Everyone I know, everyone I know, everyone I know is a broken heart." Dudes...when can I see you Live???
Look I ain't trying to be like this but if y'all could stop with these videos having that same guy dressed as a woman. We get it you like him. You make awesome music but this is turning to be gay. And I have nothing against gays but it's like I'm uncomfortable now. I miss it when Emily actually featured in the video. That's what I enjoy about your music is that it's a feel Joy vibe but a straight person cannot be listening to this and then you expect to grow your fan base. Don't believe me look at all the corporations going woke and losing sales. Anyways from now on I will be skipping your videos
