Desertion
  • Desertion is a square white frame with broken wooden planks arranged vertically, splattered in black and gray paint. The upper right corner displays "Spite House," definitions of desertion in various languages, and post-hardcore references.
  • A white vinyl record partially slides from its abstract cover—splattered with paint and a square design in black, white, and muted brown. The post-hardcore concept album Desertion by DOUSE appears here on New Morality Zine.

Description

This record is the band’s second full-length, following up their self-titled released by New Morality Zine in 2022. This album continues to face head-on the topics of loss, grief, and vulnerability but from a different angle—one where past experiences are not just viewed as instances that shape identity but as situations that are a part of identity and allow life lessons to be learned. Desertion is post-hardcore at its most visceral and moving, a concept album that explores these themes so vulnerably and unsparingly that it’s sure to inspire catharsis and connection.
