Deeper - "Tele," from the 2023 album Careful! on Sub Pop Records

On today\'s Song of the Day,\\xa0Chicago-based quartet Deeper gets vulnerable. The track can be found on their latest album,\\xa0Careful!, their third full-length overall and first for Sub Pop Records.

\\u201c\\u2019Tele\\u2019 is a song without its shield,\\u201d the band said in a press release. \\u201cIn past Deeper compositions, we would hide behind jerky guitars and abstract vocals telling a story only we could decipher. With \\u2018Tele\\u2019 we wanted to explore the vulnerability behind our music and give focus to the melody and mood of the song. Replacing guitars with synthesizers and drums with samplers we stumbled upon a new way to approach a Deeper song.\\u201d

\\u201cWe wanted to make a darker track that people could dance to,\\u201d they continued. \\u201cSince the foundation is built on a sampler beat, it\\u2019s the kind of song we could\\u2019ve only created with the limitations of the pandemic. The electronic components left more space for the rhythm, so our engineer Dave started playing with a busier bass line for the verses and laid down the hook on the first pass. At the end we wanted the synth parts to constantly overtake one another and hopefully make the listener feel like they\\u2019re being swallowed into the song.\\u201d
