DEADLETTER announce forthcoming second album, Existence Is Bliss

"To The Brim" launches a new era for the DEADLETTER as they build upon their debut album Hysterical Strength – released in 2024 – and a shift towards a more genre-fluid sound. Speaking about the single, DEADLETTER said: “To the Brim explores the experience of dealing and living with denial and the way in which it will leave you feeling incapacitated and overflowing (brimming!) with despair. Musically, we wanted a fresh start, perhaps in reaction to that denial.”

Speaking about their upcoming album, Existence Is Bliss, DEADLETTER said: "We are surrounded, totally enveloped by impurity and subjected to the lassitude its relentless jaws leave behind. To choose to live amidst this reality, as opposed to merely exist in it, is, to paraphrase a great philosopher, heroic. The temptation to choose the latter is a powerful, all too familiar sensation, yet, to look deep into one’s own eyes, to choose to embrace the struggles of life and use the world’s oxygen not to breathe, but to act, to indulge; that is what makes us people. Existence is Bliss, but to LIVE is a great turmoil whose payoff is without bounds."

The band have announced a tour which will see them play a headline show at London’s KOKO on 27 February, as well as play cities in the UK including Bristol, Nottingham, Newcastle, Glasgow, and Leeds. In Europe, the Yorkshire-band will visit a plethora of cities within Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Netherlands, France, Belgium, and Spain.
