Deap Vally break blues down to its simplest, most fundamental form: beat, melody, and meaning, while the duo’s scorching live shows are fast becoming the stuff of legend. Unlikely as it may seem, the pair did actually first meet at a needlework class, just last year. Bonding over their crochet hooks with a love of the blues, first demos and videos of the girls’ live shows have been cropping up online with increasing frequency over the past few months, Filter Magazine invited the band to perform at their Coachella party, and they even caught the ears of one Josh Homme, whose Eagles of Death Metal invited the girls to open for them in LA. The summer’s UK shows grew the whispers that these girls were something special into a more fitting roar, and Island/Communion won the race for their signatures.
