Deptford Goth releases his anticipated debut LP ‘Life After Defo’ today on Merok Records.

An album of haunting electronic soul, ‘Life After Defo’ manages to combine aching melancholy with an equally potent sense of euphoria – with album highlights including ‘Feel Real’ and ‘Union’. Deptford Goth (who admits to being neither a goth nor quite from Deptford) describes his music as “sitting somewhere between real and synthetic”. Critics have compared him to both James Blake and The xx, but he cites a diverse range of influences from Neil Young to Sparklehorse. "There's a broad influence of sounds on the record" he tells The Guardian “but probably at the heart of every song there is a little old blues singer with a guitar."

The album has been described as “tender-hearted pop formed from the shadows of R&B, house and garage” (The Guardian) and “an absolute thesis on pop experimentalism” (Pitchfork).
