Jason Couse and Wes Marskell are back as The Darcys with another single, “Off the Deep,” from their forthcoming album Fear & Loneliness. Following the release of the buoyant “Look Me in the Eyes,” this new song is an electronic, seductive daydream.

“‘Off the Deep’ is about embracing the unknown and diving into uncertain waters,” says Couse. “This ‘no risk, no reward’ motto speaks to the larger narrative arc of Fear & Loneliness and the desire to keep pushing ourselves as artists. We wanted to create a playful sonic space where a hypnotic flute sample keeps the energy afloat while the heavier themes lurk just beneath the surface.”

Fear & Loneliness is out November 13 via The Darcys Inc. Records/Warner Music. Watch the lyric video for “Off the Deep” below.
