Dehd have announced that their fifth studio album, Poetry, will be released on May 10 via Fat Possum Records. Alongside the announcement, they’ve shared the lead single “Mood Ring,” which comes paired with an accompanying video. The song, about falling for a boy with a motorcycle, features raucous distortion, eager drum fills, and a charming doo-wop-inspired rhythmic underbelly.
Following the success of the band’s fourth album, Blue Skies, Dehd turned a writing session into a road trip. They hit Taos, New Mexico; a borrowed cabin on the Puget Sound; and, eventually, returned to their Chicago warehouse space. They recruited Ziyad Asrar of Whitney to co-produce the album alongside Dehd’s own Jason Balla at Palisade Studio.
