Dekker finds quiet renewal on hypnotic new single 'Change The Chord'

Brookln Dekker, the Nottingham-based, US-born architect of introspective indie-folk, offers a final glimpse into his upcoming fourth album 'Neither Up Nor Down' with the entrancing single 'Change The Chord'.

Leaning into a more electric, off-kilter soundscape than previous releases, the track sways in a dreamy odd meter, its lilting rhythm shaped by Stefan Wittich’s subtly skewed percussion. Dekker’s warm, earnest vocals weave a gentle metaphor, where music becomes a healing force, a way to reset and reconcile.

It’s a song about emotional renewal through subtle shifts: a different note, a new rhythm, a fresh perspective. For fans of Sufjan Stevens, Kings of Convenience, and early Iron & Wine, 'Change The Chord' is a quietly profound moment, flickering with light even as it lingers in the dusk.
