Deap Valley :: Death Valley Girls

Deap Valley

A bittersweet symphony and a final farewell to Deap Valley (Lindsey Troy and Julie Edwards), whom after 13 years and three full-length albums (plus an album as Deap Lips, in collaboration with The Flaming Lips) have decided to call it quits, (citing what they call a “music industry that’s incompatible with their current lives”, as well as "re-establishing a workflow and connection around our friendship” ).  Meeting at a crochet group in L.A., Deap Valley has all the angst and raw energy of a Joan Jett or a Yeah Yeah Yeahs, with slightly more tongue-in-cheek.  Albums like Sistrionix (which was re-released last year as Sistrionix 2.0) or Femijism are not just peak female-lead rock albums, but rock n’ roll albums period.  Opening for The Violent Femmes in 2022, and now closing on a high note, here’s wishing them the best on all future endeavors!
