The Lights We Shed Shall Burn Your Eyes - Deepset

Synopsis
“…it is bands like Deepset that reminds us what indie music was about when it first began: to seek the depths of our souls and consciousness that are often shunned, ignored or trivialise in commercial mainstream pop works.” - The STAR Malaysia
Inspired by life, friendships and their surroundings, “The Lights We Shed Shall Burn Your Eyes” is the debut full-length from Malaysian instrumental quartet, Deepset, released on KittyWu Records. “The Lights We Shed Shall Burn Your Eyes” is a musical photo album, each track a polaroid capturing a story from every band member. Recorded by Irwan Syah at Greenhouse Studio in June 2008, the album is their personal vignette of life in Malaysia’s Klang Valley, but this could just as well translate to any other geographical location. Juxtaposing life’s little pleasures against the drudgery of the everyday, the six tracks on the album invite listeners to embark on a journey of finding themselves. Standout tracks include "Put Your Dream To Sleep" and "If You Can Still Hear This Whispering, You’re Dying".
Deepset’s music is driven by an unwavering passion for making and sharing music that is real. Much of the band’s creations are a melodic interpretation of their collective personalities and life experience. A distinctive trait in Deepset’s music is the lack of any repeating riffs, which its members liken to a movie where the story organically unfolds and no scene is repeated twice.
Many have likened their sound to a bittersweet blend of varied influences; from the subtle yet violent sonic beauty of Japanese instrumentalists, Mono, to the intertwining melodic details of indie favourites, Broken Social Scene. But the most powerful aspect of Deepset’s music is as reflected in its name: the great emotional depths each track evokes.
Deepset is Mohd Lothfi Mohd Salleh (guitar), Hafiza Ahamed (guitar), Mohd Asshad Saaban (bass) and Azman Abdul Aziz (drums).
self-titled Demo review (Tue, 7 Aug.)
KLue June 2006 Deepset Deepset(Self released)
The post-rock path is full of bands trying to out feedback each other and play more melancholic melodies then the next band.Latest addition to this fraternity is Deepset via this self-titled EP and this surprisingly is really good.The band manage to out-dirty Damn Dirty Apes,make more of a ruckus than KLPHQ and is ahead of April by at least a few months.Driven by the band’s great sense of space and flow,Deepset have managed to release a solid collection of songs in this genre.Pretentious song titles are mandatory to this line of rock and Deepset does not dissappoint with tracks called " Of polaroids and stills," " A long way down," and " Where were they (when the fun went out)?" . "Of polaroids and stills" turns out to be the best track with the band finding several solid soothing guitar tones to drone to the listener until all emotional pain stops.This may just be the group’s first outing,but it’s showing some serious potential.Keep an ear out for this band.For more information,email deepsetdeepset@gmail.com.
Previously known as Deepset Joy, this band features a soaring, spacious and beautiful tune on their MySpace site. Where Were They (When The Fun Went Out)? sounds a bit like the local post-rock combo Furniture but leans more towards the dream-pop era of the late 80s British Indie. I like.
hello Deepset. We're releasing a single "Indecisive" this Sunday at Homegrown Space! Come and check us out and grab a copy of the single! All the best to you! Keep on rocking!
Petaling Jaya, Malaysia-based ensemble Deepset began when a group of music lovers interested in instrumental sound projects discovered the twin indie and rock era of the ’90s.Inspired by these bands’ blending of harmonic phase and sonic experimentation, they began recording themselves, and started more on trial of drifting composition and slightly sustain the light psychedelic sound. Here they are!
