dEUS had started the recording sessions for the new album yesterday. Producer David Bottrill and his engineer Alan Nobel have arrived in Antwerp. Peter Vermeersch will also be involved for some arrangements.

Tom would also like to have some guests on the album. They have one song that he would like to record with Karin Dreijer Anderson (The Knife), because Tom impressed by her appearance on Slow.

The album should be finished before the end of the year and should hit the stores in February.

A special newsletter by dEUS.be had a link to download a high-quality-version of the Slow-video. The video is a splitscreen from the band playing the song and footage from Luc Tuymans playing chess in a parc and the five angry looking girls dancing.

Here's what the band says about it in the newsletter:

The track Slow features the great Karin Dreijer Andersson from The Knife, her icy voice perfectly fitting the song. In the video 5 amazing young dancer girls represent Karin's part, resulting in a split screen video where you see the band playing and the girls dancing in our brand new Vantage Point studio in Antwerp.
The video will probably be available on the dEUS-Youtube Channel very soon.

Chicago-based webzine Pitchfork reviews Slow, with (again) a strong emphasis on the contribution of The Knife's Karin Dreijer Andersson. I think the guys there are all secretly in love with her.


"Slow" is the sort of moody, and, yeah, methodically-paced track you might've expected from latter-day Blur: buzzing "How Soon Is Now?" guitar oscillations to one side, brittle stabs on the other, with whirring drums, a mordant bassline, and singer Tom Barman's weary alienation between. Synths and acoustic guitar wash over a downbeat chorus: "We slept through a million years/ Lived through a million fears." Andersson's here in a supporting role, her Björk-via-Victoria-Bergsman flutter adding extra eeriness and frailty as much as harmony.
