DENS’ latest track, “They,” is accompanied by a music video. The song is taken from their forthcoming album, Taming Tongues, which will be available March 6 on Facedown Records.
“They” is the result of reflecting on an ongoing pattern we have seen in our relationships and in the conversations that encircle us. Namely, there is often a fundamental breakdown in communication due to a lack of precision in language, a cloud of emotion that colors our reactions, and an unwillingness to empathize with other people. The inability to hear others can be just as unnecessarily divisive in everyday conversations between friends as it is in greater debates in the world around us. It seems that assuming intentions and painting others in the worst light is just as prevalent in conversations about faith, Scripture, and godliness as well. So we often can’t get to the real heart of any discussion when we just keep talking past each other. We filmed the video for “They” in one shot, depicting the interconnected drama that ensues when we fail to be quick to listen. We think it is a picture of the interruption that occurs when we refuse to exercise wisdom by taming the tongue.

I too am excited to see how this album turns out. Their last EP was incredible!
Great video. Really stripped back but well thought out!
This is probably my most anticipated album of 2020, and it’s shaping up to be great based on what I’ve heard so far. Can’t wait to hear it all. DeNS are on a roll, and they keep getting better with everything new release.
