American singer-songwriter Brookln Dekker, better known by his musical moniker Dekker, (and being one-half of the Anglo-American Indie-Folk duo Rue Royale), has amassed a steadily growing global audience, international radio support and over 65 million streams to-date. Having released his debut album ‘Slow Reveal: Chapter One’ in 2020, Dekker returned with ‘I Won’t Be Your Foe’ last year.
Dekker has announced details of a UK tour for November 2023, ahead of the release of his new single ‘For Repair’ (out 8 September), which follows recent releases ‘Hero Myth’ and ‘Too Young To Die’ as the third single to be taken from Dekker’s forthcoming third record ‘Future Ghosts’. Set for release in early 2024, stay tuned for further details coming soon…
A soft and sophisticated slice of fluttering alt-pop, ‘For Repair’ hones in on indie and folk influences to create a sound that is just as balmy as it is bold. With lilting melodies, simmering percussion and a mellow approach to vocal delivery delicately pinned together with a silken sheen, the track brings to mind the likes of Orlando Weeks or Westerman. Produced with Dekker’s long-time collaborator and co-producer Stefan Wittich, ‘For Repair’ was mixed and mastered by Zach Hanson (Bon Iver, The Staves, Whitney) in Wisconsin.
Ahead of the track’s release Dekker has also announced details of a UK tour for Winter 2023. Kicking off in Birmingham on 14th November, the live run will see the US artist head to Bristol, Cardiff, London, Nottingham, Manchester, Leeds and also here in Brighton on 17th November at a venue called ‘Dust’, which we are led to believe will be the new name for ‘Zahara’, which is located at 77 East Street.
