touring, the band began recording a new album, Lunar Phase in 2024.The new
album will be released by Flatiron Recordings in early 2025.While not a concept
album, Lunar Phase was created with a very clear direction in mind. Instead of
falling into the trap of trying to sound current, DBS decided to shape the
sound of the record to feel as if it had been recorded in 1992 in the glory
days of jangly underground guitar bands, from which the band had drawn so much
inspiration when solidifying their sound. This was the time of Material Issue,
Teenage Fanclub, The Charlatans, and Sugar when everyone was waiting to see if
The Stone Roses would ever make another record. .. before grunge took over.
Drawing once again from these early sources of inspiration, Lunar Phase was
created with that wonderful time in mind.
Over400million
streams on Spotify alone stands as a testament to Deep Blue Something's
enduring appeal of their distinctive sound and style.
