A bold new genre of alternative music emerges from the core of Scotland. Emerging indie group Deavenu drops their vibrant debut EP, "Dumb Days," featuring three tracks filled with angst, melody, and unapologetic energy. This EP represents a band poised to leave an impact. Formed in 2024 in Perth, Scotland, Deavenu is a five-member band with a diverse lineup from across the nation: Amber (vocals, Largs), Evan (rhythm guitar, Dundee), Eilidh (drummer, Alloa), Archie (lead guitar, Kinross), and Ronin (bass, Fife). United by a passion for catchy hooks and significant lyrics, the group taps into the shared inspirations of Catfish and the Bottlemen, Arctic Monkeys, Foo Fighters, and Oasis to craft genuine and cutting-edge music.
The titular song, "Dumb Days," captures the chaotic emotions of youth and expresses them vividly. Drenched in strong guitar riffs and Amber's commanding vocals that slice through an anthem of disenchantment and inspire those feeling trapped in life's transitional phases. It’s equally restless and contemplative, tied to an enchanting chorus that sparkles long after the music fades. "Sober (Remastered)" maintains the flames alive. This version's enhanced production and exact execution refresh a song bubbling with frustration and desire. It also showcases Deavenu's understanding of rawness and precision as it shifts along the spectrum from one extreme to the other.
"Head In The Clouds" features a dreamy, melodic flow that balances escapist fantasy with keen self-awareness. It's a reverie concealing thoughtful lyrics and presents a different, gentler aspect of the band's character, equally powerful. In just three tracks and less than ten minutes, "Dumb Days" delivers a full emotional journey, transitioning from the intense disillusionment to the serene core of the content.
