Div I Ded - Born To Sleep (2015)

Div I Ded was established in the end of 2013 by Filip Helštýn and in the fall of 2014 they released their debut album "Born To Sleep" that made them a sunlight of forgotten or undiscovered Czech shoegaze and dream pop. "Born To Sleep" received positive reaction of criticism and listeners all over the world and brought to the band a nomination for the Vinyla Music Awards in category “Discovery of the year”. Multiinstrumentalist Filip Helštýn and female singer Viktorie Marksová, which are accompanied at gigs by Jakub Zháňal on drums and Ondra Mikula on bass guitar, samples and projection, have the roots in Frýdek-Místek and Ustí nad Labem in Czech Republic.

The original concept of Div I Ded shoegaze imbibes elements of melancholic pop or lo-fi folk — they definitely don't copy former heroes of indie scene (Ecstasy of Saint Theresa, Slowdive, Jesus & Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine). In June 2015 Viktorie left Div I Ded and she was replaced by new female singer Veea Janošková. Vojtěch Cigler joined Div I Ded on bass guitar and with new single „Waiting“ they are announcing a new LP which is scheduled to release in the beginning of 2016.
