Department M Reveal ‘Deep Control’ Album Details

• 4th Feb 2016

Leeds-based electronic experimental noise pop duo Department M will release their new album ‘Deep Control’ as a limited edition 12” vinyl on 18th March 2016 via independent label Hide & Seek Records. Pre-orders are available direct from the band now.

The record will be available as a digital download or as part of an extremely limited edition handmade run of 12” vinyl featuring a custom sleeve jacket and artwork hand-printed by the band. The LP version of the pre-order features 11 tracks across two sides plus a digital download of the full LP, featuring added bonus track, ‘Jazz Collapse’.

“After the super-taut feel of the self-titled mini-album released on Fierce Panda in Dec 2013, my aim was to create a musical antidote” explains Brinley of the album “The term ‘industrial’ had been bandied about a lot in interviews and reviews – conjuring images of a tension-head, aggro listening experience. For this record I wanted to the opposite, I wanted to make a deeply personal and soulful pop-record but still within the confines of Department M’s musical reference points of warm analogue synths, future-pop production and experimental textures.”
