dEUS announce first album in a decade, share "Must Have Been New"

Belgian alt-rock vets dEUS have announced How to Replace It, their first album in 11 years, which will be released February 17 via [PIAS] Recordings. The first single from the album is the gospel-inflected “Must Have Been New” which finds their widescreen brand of rock still intact.

“I was playing the piano and I asked our drummer Steph to give me a waltz rhythm,” says co-founder Klaas Janzoons of the song’s origins. “I instantly came up with the verse and chorus chords, Tom [Barman] added a middle eight and we had the core of the song. But in typical dEUS fashion, it took a whole lot of time and energy to get to the final result.”

You can watch the lyric video for “Must Have Been New” below.
