ANCHR's Artist of the Week: Deeper
In the past few years, Chicago band Deeper became an integral part of the city’s live music scene—playing in venues from The Hideout and Empty Bottle to Thalia Hall. With their debut self-titled album and sophomore release Auto-Pain, Deeper puts a refreshing spin on post punk roots, giving their music a distinctive tone that accompanies a sense of familiarity.
It’s been just shy of a year since Auto-Pain’s release, and 2020 had been slated with tours in support of the album across North America and Europe for Deeper. While last year obviously shook up so much of the music industry, Deeper has used this break from touring to reimagine some of their music and find a creative way to keep sharing content. To follow up their livestream performance at Lincoln Hall in October that was part of Audiotree’s STAGED series, Deeper just announced they will be releasing a performance filmed at the Chicago Cultural Center later this month in celebration of the Auto-Pain anniversary.
Earlier this week, the band also put out a remix of their single “This Heat,” in which Working Men’s Club puts an electronic twist on the track. This remix marks the beginning of additional collaborations and new music that Deeper says will accompany the anniversary of their second album.
