Protomartyr Remix Dehd's 'Loner', Flower of Devotion Remixed out Sept. 17th
Next Friday, Chicago indie-rock outfit Dehd will release Flower of Devotion Remixed, a reimagination of their “undeniably great” (Vice) sophomore album, via Fire Talk Records. Today, they share “Loner - Protomartyr Remix,” a sparse and percussive reimagining of their 2020 breakout hit. “Loner - Protomartyr Remix” follows collaborations with fellow Chicagoans Lala Lala and Physical Medium. With help from Protomartyr, Dehd transform “Loner” into a hypnotic scorcher, amplifying the ingredients that made the track into an instant classic.
“I have a suspicion that this is the most badass a Dehd song will ever sound simply because Protomartyr are so badass,” says Dehd’s Jason Balla. “They have a way of making gloomy optimism and ‘Loner’ is swimming in it. I got to tour with them a few years back and their live performances have really left an impression on me. I think it was also on this fated tour that our tour manager introduced me to the music of Detroit house producer Moodymann, which has been a big inspiration to me and to the idea of making this remix record.”
