En concert le 9 novembre à la Boule Noire pour le festival Les Inrocks

Following his fast-selling Union Chapel show on September 27th, Deptford Goth has just confirmed a new run of dates for October. Dates are as follows…

Daniel Woolhouse describes his music as, “sitting somewhere between real and synthetic,” but the emotional impact of his musical alias Deptford Goth is about as human as it gets.
Imbued with an intimate, intense yearning, perfectly matched to a seamlessly woven ‘scape of synths, beats and dreamy, sad vocal, Life After Defo confirms the arrival of an astonishing new talent.

Critical acclaim for Life After Defo, out now on Merok:

“a true artist album that threads together piece by piece, track by track… A cracking debut that will no doubt pose a future star.”
Future Music – 9/10 (Album Of The Month)

“electronic soul custom-designed for low-lit and lovelorn late nights.”
Q – 4 Stars ****

“Life After Defo is a spectral beauty”
The Guardian – 4 Stars ****

“’On the excellent “Feel Real” his knack for melancholia unfurls amidst pockets of melody, buffeted by harp flourishes and glistening synths, while ‘Union’ ups the BPM to create something you can almost dance to. Life After Defo’ isn’t for Saturday nights, however, it’s for the sun–dappled hangover of a Sunday morning.”
The Fly – 4 Stars****

"Woolhouse sings like a man who's down but not out over instrumentals full of lush, warm washes of synthesiser. At its centre is the gorgeous 'Particles', with the murmured refrain: 'It sticks me in the soil.' It's an image of natural decay and rebirth that's central to 'Life After Defo', an album that sounds like new things growing slowly underground."
Time Out – 4 stars ****

“Magnificent.. Life After Defo is an absolute thesis on pop experimentalism”
Clash – 8/10

‘Woolhouse’s songs combine his forlorn, hushed croon with intricately layered electronic soundscapes. It’s a match made in heaven”.
Sunday Times

“a vital first work… a talent that is at times unrivalled.”
DIY – 7/10

“Softly building from scant foundations, this is a record where subtle and restrained emotion is the driving force.”
NME – 7/10

“Deptford Goth’s ghost R&B keens admiringly in the direction of Bon Iver and Active Child”
UNCUT – 7/10

“Life After Defo convinces, its downcast, sweet-bleak beauty becoming more individual with every play.”
The Observer

“soulfully articulated, machine-driven melancholia”
BBC Music

“The debut album from South London artist Daniel Woolhouse feels both intensely personal and endlessly expansive.”
Dummy – Album of the Week
