Never wanted\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eone. Yet they’ve remained true to certain guiding principles. “You don’t want to repeat yourself, but you have your style,” says Tom Barman, frontman and genial leader of the cult Belgian art-rockers. “You want to try new stuff  and just react to whatever feels fresh at the time.” So it is with ‘How To Replace It’, their eighth studio album and first in ten years; distinctive and inventive, melodic yet defiantly off-kilter. Unique. And above all, unmistakably dEUS.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Even that title - mysterious, oblique - scans as being\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efantastically unknowable, hinting at a deep sense of wisdom. “I like the openness of it,” says Barman. Follow the lyrical clues, and you might conclude ‘it’ concerns romance and ageing; squint a little, and you might alight on modernity being the malaise described. Either way, fuelling intrigue is by design. “It’s a question, it’s an\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eanswer… it’s up to the listener to decide.” \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e For the previous two records, jam sessions were long and\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003estructured - five days a week, noon till 6pm - with songs\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ebeing moulded and developed over time. But for the ‘How To Replace It’ sessions, Barman shook things up. “We had short, explosive jams. Very concentrated,” he says. “And when I heard something, I’d retreat with our engineers and do the heavy lifting. That’s how the album came together.”\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Twenty-eight years after their debut record, dEUS remain\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eindie stalwarts, pushing ever forward, endlessly curious and creatively restless.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Produced by Adam Noble (Liam Gallagher, Biffy Clyro,\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePlacebo).\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e European tour March - April 2023, plus summer festival\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003edates.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Available pressed on clear or black vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTracklisting\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHow To Replace It\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMust Have Been New\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMan Of The House\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1989\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFaux Bamboo\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDream Is a Giver\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePirates\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSimple Pleasures\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNever Get You High\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCadillac\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLove Breaks Down\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLe Blues Polaire\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"[PIAS] Recordings Belgium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42294736322716,"sku":"PIASB820LP","price":25.92,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/1_03563f86-0b07-4216-a00b-f348d7dc7048.jpg?v=1674243042","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/deus-how-to-replace-it-2lp","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
