The best recommendations in life come from good friends, so when Relient K’s Matt Hoopes tips his hat toward Deas Vail, wake up and realise that you’re not friends with Matt at all but would like to be, so take his new music advice on board and grab the free download of Deas Vail’s new single “Wake Up and Sleep” from www.freedeasvail.com

Mum always said you get what you pay for but ‘Wake Up and Sleep’ was worth so much more!

Deas Vail, pronounced ‘day-us vale”, is a rough translation of Latin and French meaning ‘servant of God’. The four boys plus Laura hail from Arkansas and they love music because it speaks to so many different people in so many different ways. The band is no stranger to the recording studio or the stage, having shared both with Owl City, John Reuben and Relient K in the past 8 years. They were signed by DC Talk’s Mark Lee Townsend in 2005 and more recently they moved to the infamous Gotee Records camp, under their Mono vs Stereo label headed up by the Matts from Relient K (Matt Hoopes and Matt Thiessen).

[quote float=“right”]are you waking up just to fall asleep again?[/quote] The most important thing you need to know about Deas Vail is how much you’re going to love them and their songs. Their October 11 album release is a 12-track voyage about life, freedom, love, hope, fear and transformation. Press play to get that instant positive uplift in the sweeping contours of the opening tracks, as ‘Desire’, ‘Sixteen’ and ‘Summer Forgets Me’ provide a powerful and emotional kick start to the record. Wesley’s vocals ride the guitars and drums like a bareback horse through the mountains, this is a beautiful recording. Their free release in “Wake Up and Sleep” is a friendly tune that leaves you with conviction and hope, something I think many of us could do with more of.

If you’re looking for that new album to fall in love with then catch Deas Vail’s self titled October 11 release. Or you can just wait and make hipster jokes about your friends that do. Did I mention it was being released on vinyl as well?
