Der dreiköpfige Band Dehd aus Chicago gelingt oft die schöne Kombination aus Wohlklang mit Kakophonie, Dream-Pop mit Garage-Punk. Wikipedia beschreibt den Gesang treffend als „idiosyncratic vocals, which include drawls, call-and response, yelping, and frequent use of counter-melody“.

Dehd schätze ich vor allem seit ihrem 2019er Album „Water“, das sowohl an die Moldy Peaches als auch an Best Coast erinnerte und damals in meinen Album-Top-20 des Jahres landete.
Diesen Sommer erschien bereits das vierte Album der Band.

* Your three favourite Punk singles/songs?

– Why Can’t I Touch It? by the Buzzcocks

– I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend by the Ramones

– See No Evil by Television

* A record that will make you dance?

Transportation by Chandra

* Your favourite song lyrics?

„In 27 years, I drunk 50,000 beers and they just wash against me like the sea into a pier“
– David Berman

* The best “new” artist / band right now?

-I think Spirit of the Beehive is one of the most exciting bands right now.
The songs have a lot of heart and the world of sounds that they’ve assembled is really inspiring. They have woven different sounds and genres into a big collage that somehow all makes sense together.

* Girls, Best Coast or Horsegirl – which one do you prefer and why?

Horsegirl because the best next thing is always around the corner.

* Your favourite song about rebellion/revolution?

– Androgynous by The Replacements

* Your favourite song this year so far?

Fever by Aldous Harding

* Your favourite movie about music – and why?

I’m honestly a sucker for Almost Famous. I got involved in a music venue and bands way older than me when I was still pretty young and I can relate a lot to this sort of adopted music family that shows you another world.

* Your favourite cover artwork?

The Heart Pumps Kool-Aid by Seth Graham and More Eaze (it’s just so wild)

* The best song you’ve ever written / recorded?

I’m really proud of a song on our 2nd tape called Everyone Knows. I think as a band maybe our best song is Window.

* Your favourite german song/record?

Die Da by Fantastichen Vier

* Your favourite record of all time?

-Some Rap Songs by Earl Sweatshirt
