about

Deep Deep Water, the blissfully atmospheric London-based four-piece, are readying for the release of their debut EP ‘Something in the Water’, out September 27th. In a short time they’ve amassed support from the likes of NME, The 405, Clash Magazine, Vogue, Gorilla vs Bear, BBC Introducing, Radio 1, BBC 6 Music and Radio X as well as securing placement on some of the country’s most prestigious festival line-ups such as All Points East, Glastonbury and Bluedot. 

Following a hectic summer the announcement comes alongside that of a London headline at The Pickle Factory and a new edit of the track. On Deep Deep Water’s crystalline debut EP they present four pristine outsider pop anthems, produced by Richard Norris, recorded at Real World and released on Aphrodite, a new label by Greco-Roman cofounder Alexander Waldron. It perfectly encapsulates their technical, melodic and sophisticated sound.

The EP kicks off with epic, sweeping soundscapes and layers of beautifully composed electronics into previous single ‘Freedom’ with its wistful trip-hop tendencies and a gloriously catchy vocal delivery. Interwoven are some precision beats and infectious, textural guitar work. These are intelligent, expertly crafted melodies by a band experienced in production and arrangement. Individually they bristle with effervescence and as a first full body of work they complement each other entirely, providing an astoundingly confident introduction. The dreamy ‘Tame’ brings to close the all-too-brief encounter with the expanse that is Deep Deep Water. 

Deep Deep Water have a more profound understanding of each other than most of their contemporaries. Having been close since childhood their songwriting styles have progressed independently and as a combined collective through genres spanning from Jazz to rock. Drawing musical inspiration he smoky delivery of Portishead and the ethereal sheen of Warpaint, Deep Deep Water locked themselves away for much of 2018, and this tireless rehearsal schedule has paid off with stunning debut recordings and spectacular shows across the country. 

Expect Sheals’ trademark acrobatics behind the drums, Steen’s deft synthesis, Bowmaker’s languid guitar lines, and a versatile, powerhouse vocal from Cohen.
