Djo (the musical project of actor / producer / songwriter Joe Keery), is back and shares his new Talking Heads influenced track “Gloom,” the next release off his new album “DECIDE” out September 16th.

After parting from Chicago psych rock outfit Post Animal, Keery –who is of course also known far and wide for his acclaimed acting roles in such blockbuster projects as Stranger Things – starting creating his solo debut as Djo. DECIDE was created with musician / engineer Adam Thein throughout the pandemic with final recording taking place at Sound Factory in Los Angeles.

DECIDE serves as a sort of aural history of Keery’s late 20’s. It features reflections on growth, relationships and navigating it all in a world filled with technology at its centre. It's his sonic ambitions however that take these introspections and melt them into a warped reality with each layered synth pulling the listener’s emotional strings. 

Keery self-releases all his music through AWAL.
