Hypnotic, dark, and relentlessly honest, DEJA DEAD’s “DISCONNECTED_” (out March 12, 2026) is an album that refuses to be ignored. With production from RICO, whose industrial sensibilities have earned him infamy in Glasgow, the album’s four tracks paint a picture of a world unmoored by its own technologies.
“SNAPSHOTS,” the first single, hooks the listener with trip-hop moods and raw emotion. DEJA DEAD’s guitar-driven riffs and layered electronics intertwine, supporting lyrics that probe deep into the costs of living in a connected world. The collaboration with RICO brings added intensity, sometimes abrasive but always compelling.
As the tracks unfold, it becomes clear that “DISCONNECTED_” is more than a personal confession—it’s a commentary on society at large. The album’s narrative moves restlessly between anhedonic lows and fleeting moments of self-realization, never settling for easy answers.
For fans of music that challenges as much as it entertains, DEJA DEAD’s new project is essential listening. The Glasgow Film Theatre event on March 23, paired with a techno-horror film, is the perfect finale for a record that thrives at the boundary of sound and vision.
