DEUS - IN A BAR, UNDER THE SEA (30th anniversary edition 3LP set)

In 1994 and 1996, dEUS released ‘Worst Case Scenario’ and ‘In a Bar, Under the Sea’, two albums that didn’t just introduce a band, but quietly rewired the possibilities of European alternative rock. ‘In a Bar, Under the Sea’ pushed that logic to its breaking point. Looser, stranger, and more communal in spirit, the album folded jazz phrasing, off-kilter pop hooks, and moments of near-chaos into something that still somehow cohered. It captured a band refusing to settle, embracing excess and experimentation at a moment when European guitar music rarely dared to sound this restless or this alive. Now, widely regarded as Belgium’s most influential rock band, dEUS & [PIAS] Recordings will release both albums on March 20th as 3LP and 2CD expanded 30th Anniversary sets, including long lost B- Sides and rarities.
