Djo (aka actor Joe Keery from Stranger Things, Fargo, and Free Guy) is releasing a new album, The Crux, on April 4 via AWAL. Now he has shared its second single, “Delete Ya.” Listen below, followed by Djo’s upcoming tour dates.
Previously Djo shared its lead single, “Basic Being Basic,” via a lyric video. It was one of our Songs of the Week.
The Crux is the follow-up to 2022’s DECIDE and his 2019-released debut solo album, TWENTY TWENTY. Keery was previously a part of the Chicago psych rock band Post Animal, which will be joining Djo on tour.
Keery co-produced The Crux with his long-time collaborator Adam Thein. While his previous albums were synth-based bedroom recordings, the new one was recorded at Electric Lady Studios in New York City and is more influenced by late ’60s and early ’70s pop.
The press release explains the album in more detail and how it ties into the front and back cover artwork: “Although the songs are rich with specificity, the album plays like a movie soundtrack, where the listener can easily align with a character, situation, or emotion. And this is, in part, how Keery frames the album’s concept through its art—a collaboration with Neil Krug—as a hotel where all of its guests are transient, and at a spiritual or emotional crossroads.”
Keery has played Steve Harrington on Stranger Things since its first episode. The fifth and final season is expected this year on Netflix. He also played Deputy Gator Tillman in the fifth season of Fargo and Walter “Keys” McKey in the 2021 sci-fi/action/comedy Free Guy (also starring Ryan Reynolds and Jodie Comer). He also plays Pavement frontman Stephen Malkmus in the experimental musical biopic concert film Pavements, which premiered at the Venice film festival last year.
