Deadletter –  announce their sophomore album ‘Existence Is Bliss’ & release lead single

Alternate indie/rock band DEADLETTER announce their sophomore album, Existence Is Bliss, set for release on Friday 27th February via So Recordings. The announcement is accompanied with the release of the lead single and music video from the album, ‘To The Brim’, which is out now. Existence Is Bliss album pre-order begins at 10am on Friday 14th November and is available on LP, Limited Edition LP, and CD.
 
In 2026, DEADLETTER will embark upon a UK and EU tour, with presale tickets going on sale on Wednesday 12th November at 10am and general release Friday 14th November at 10am. Tickets can be purchased HERE.

On ‘To The Brim’, DEADLETTER deliver an exquisitely refined track, purveying aesthetics from across the alternate, indie, and rock spectrum. ‘To The Brim’ launches a new era for DEADLETTER as they build upon their debut album Hysterical Strength – released in 2024 – and shift towards a more sophisticated, genre-fluid sound. The production is sublime, with frontman Zac Lawrence’s raw vocals tying the track together. With the release of ‘To The Brim’, DEADLETTER have released a statement, showcasing the lofty levels of what is to come from one of the UK’s most exciting new bands.

Speaking about ‘To The Brim’, DEADLETTER said:

“To the Brim explores the experience of dealing and living with denial and the way in which it will leave you feeling incapacitated and overflowing (brimming!) with despair. Musically, we wanted a fresh start,perhaps in reaction to that denial.”

Speaking about their upcoming album, Existence Is Bliss, DEADLETTER said:
 
“We are surrounded, totally enveloped by impurity and subjected to the lassitude its relentless jaws leave behind. To choose to live amidst this reality , as opposed to merely exist in it, is, to paraphrase a great philosopher, heroic.  The temptation to choose the latter is a powerful, all too familiar sensation, yet, to look deep into one’s own eyes, to choose to embrace the struggles of life and use the world’s oxygen not to breathe, but to act, to indulge; that is what makes us people. Existence is Bliss, but to LIVE is a great turmoil whose payoff is without bounds.”
