Cult indie icons Deeper have announced their new album Careful!, out September 8th, with its lead single “Build a Bridge” streaming now. Along with the news, the band have revealed their 2023 tour dates.
Careful! marks Deeper’s third album overall and their debut for Sub Pop: “I wanted these to be interesting songs, but in a way where a two-year-old would vibe out to it,” the band’s Nic Gohl said in a statement, naming “coked-out Bowie” as a major influence. “It’s pop music, basically… We’ve always talked about how we didn’t want to stay in one genre as a band.”
Pop melodies drive “Build a Bridge,” but they’re undercut with Deeper’s classic pointed, jittery guitars that make the track at once catchy and a little unnerving. Its lyrics reckon with finding — while, perhaps, also losing — yourself: “A troubled life/ I saw the mirror/ Is this really what you need?” go the song’s opening lines.
Deeper’s headlining tour dates kick off on September 21st in Indianapolis, making stops across North America before hitting the UK/EU throughout November. Tickets go on sale this Friday at 10:00 a.m. ET over at Ticketmaster; once they’re on sale, you can also check StubHub, where your order is 100% guaranteed through StubHub’s FanProtect program.
