Trevor Deeble, Director of the newly opened Office for Personal Development, will release the debut single from his OPD this May, with a clear message to the people of planet Earth that, Everything Is Going To Be OK.
The artist formerly known as ‘Trevor Moss’, now returning to his birth name after years in orbit, has spent the last 15 years serving his folk apprenticeship, before exploding into a supernova of new wave, pop creativity (health and safety protocols were adhered to at all times).
‘I feel like after 15 years of setting myself rules, I checked the cell door and it was open all along. I set out making this album utilising every process I had previously held some juvenile principal against, and loved every moment. Maybe that’s why it took nearly a year to make, I was having too much fun.‘
Written, performed and produced by Trevor, this record is a showcase for his multitude of talents and obsessive DIY work ethic. The forthcoming album, a display of pyrotechnic proportions, represents a creative release by an artist who has felt limited by a genre for so many years.
‘This is the electo-bedroom-dream-pop-industrial-chiptune-screamo-bosa-nova-songwriter- alternative-new-wave-rock-spoken-word odyssey I’ve been dying to go on for years.’
The single Everything Is Going To Be OK is a reworking of a song originally recorded over ten years ago, when Indigo Moss, Trevor’s much hyped London-based new-grass band (having moved to the capital to study Fine Art at Goldsmith’s College), were holed up in Kent recording demos for the canned follow-up to their critically-acclaimed eponymous debut album released in 2007.
‘This is not so much a reinvention of myself as it is a return. Using my real name for the first time, going back to my art-school roots playing experimental music in basements in New Cross and Deptford. I grew up on pop-music. I love Eurovision. There I said it.’
Following the break up of Indigo Moss, he and his wife Hannah-Lou continued as a duo, and over the years have been supported by unknown hopefuls such as; Foals, Daughter and Paloma Faith. Trevor’s rocket however, until now, despite rumblings has remained grounded on the launch pad. Tours and gigs all around the world with the likes of Tori Amos, Damon Albarn, Jools Holland and Loudon Wainwright, working with producers such as Dan Carey and Ethan Johns, and releasing 6 albums on labels including Big Life (Butterfly) and Heavenly, now form but the prequel.
Now a resident of St. Leonards-on-sea on the south coast of England for 8 years, he has itchy feet and is now, finally, strapped in and ready for take off.
‘Everything Is Going To Be OK’ is the official advice from the Office for Personal Development. Single released 15th May 2020 on all digital platforms. Written and produced by The OPD.
