Very excited for this one! Djo announces details of the new album, The Crux to be released on April 4th. Djo– the musical project of actor / producer / and BRIT Award-nominated songwriter Joe Keery, known for his work in blockbuster projects as Stranger Things and Fargo – announces his highly anticipated new album The Crux. The follow-up to Djo‘s 2022 album DECIDE, which featured the blockbuster hit ‘End of Beginning,’ The Crux will be released on April 4th on AWAL. Today, he has released the first single ‘Basic Being Basic.’ With its Oberheim OB-X8 synths and falsetto refrain, its final verses shrewdly skewer the (often online) tropes of modern day posturing. “It’s kind of a shot fired to anyone who’s trying to be of the moment,” says Keery.
