Degu is the collaboration of lovers. While most relationships 'make beautiful music together,' Alana McDonald and Jonathan Higley actually do. Alana provides warm, rich, emotive vocals and massive, 90s inspired guitar themes. Jonathan produces, bringing drums, synthesis, backing vocals, and electro tweaking ruffness. With a refined electronic sound that craftily blends bright 80s synthesis, dark lilting modern overtones, slutty rock drums, and thoughtful lyrics, Degu is truly a sound to savor.
Since forming in a basement studio in Salt Lake City in late 2005, Degu has released a debut EP, Vent, Pump, & Fist and formed a live act. The band's latest album, their first full length LP, two years in the making, Seven and a Half, refines their sound and proves to redefine conceptions of what electro rock can be. With standout tracks like 'Syncos,' 'Cassanova,' and 'Blowback,' Degu provides an eclectic album that spans minimal downtempo electronic to heafty throbbing desert rock. Fresh faces the scene, it's easy to spot that they will be a great influence and a welcomed breath of fresh air on the vast modern music landscape.
