Acordes despojados e rebeldes que constroem ritmos soalheiros de guitarra e aventureiros de baixo fazem do som de Dehd, uma proposta interessante para estes tempos complicados e críticos. A positividade que advém do seu som que reconstrói de forma lúdica o surf-rock, aliando-o a um rock alternativo que bebe de influências como Velvet Underground, colocando Dehd num patamar cimeiro da música alternativa.
O seu mais recente trabalho intitula-se Water e foi editada em Maio do ano passado (2019). Water compõe-se de 13 temas que vagueiam entre o rock mais alternativo e sem pretensões dos anos 70 e cujas líricas expressam uma forma descomplexada de encarar e olhar a vida. Uma lufada de ar fresco e alguma positividade nestes tempos tão negativos é o que Dehd oferece.

Loose and wild guitar chords that create sunny guitar rhythms and adventurous riffs on the bass make Dehd’s sound, an interesting offering for these troubled and critical times. The positivity that comes from their sound that playfully reconstructs surf rock, aligning it to an alternative rock that has some influence of Velvet Underground, make Dehd in an above plane of alternative music.
Their latest work is called Water and was released in May, 2019. Water comprises 13 themes that wander through the more alternative and “free” rock of the 70’s and whose lyrics express an easy-going way of facing and looking at life. A breath of fresh air and some positive thinking in these dark times is what Dehd offers.
