When frontman Tom Barman was asked for the umpteenth time to describe his band’s music, he came up with a perfectly low-key statement: “We’re slightly extravagant”. It’s a credo that dEUS has served well during their two-decade career, during which the band emerged from the early 90s club scene in Antwerp.

But something of their former casual spirit still remains, an attitude rooted more in fringe jazz bohemia than in the orthodoxy of alternative rock.
