MUSIC: Deptford Goth - Life After Defo


"Soulfully articulated, machine-driven melancholia from rising south Londoner." - BBC Music

Daniel Woolhouse, or Deptford Goth as his stagename goes, will release his debut album this month on the 17th March. Think of The xx, James Blake, How To Dress Well and Jessie Ware - the latter also being from South London. Life After Defo would easily fit alongside those albums, but is distinct enough to have something really special about it. It's a great cohesive album but with each track having it's own identity, and not one feeling like a 'filler'. He may not have appeared on many big 'One-to-Watch' lists for this year, but he's definitely on mine. 

You can stream Life Before Defo on Pitchfork right now and pre-order on iTunes.
