Deeper is a Chicago-based post-punk outfit revered for their sharp, introspective lyrics and the compelling interplay of angular guitar melodies. They formed in 2014, quickly establishing a name for themselves in the local scene before expanding their reach. Their eponymous debut album, released in 2018, set the stage for their signature sound with propulsive rhythms wrapped in a moody atmosphere that captivated listeners with its earnest vulnerability and a fresh take on post-punk aesthetics.

The band's follow-up, "Auto-Pain," released in 2020, signified a significant evolution in their sound, diving deeper into themes of mental health and emotional turmoil, reflected in both the album's title and its introspective content. The album was later expanded with the "Auto-Pain (Deluxe)" edition, which brought further dimension with remixes from other avant-garde artists, accentuating Deeper's influence and connectivity within the independent music community. Accompanying singles like "The Knife," "Lake Song," and "This Heat," complete with their eclectic mix of remixes, continue to showcase Deeper's ability to reinvent and reinterpret their sonic identity while maintaining the raw energy that originally garnered their dedicated following. Their live performances, such as the "Jam in the Van - Deeper (Live Session, Los Angeles, CA, 2019)," capture the urgent and dynamic nature of their music, adding to their growing reputation as an evocative live act with a distinct voice in the contemporary music landscape.
