DEJA DEAD has announced the release of their new single “SNAPSHOTS”, alongside a special immersive event set to take place at Glasgow Film Theatre on 23 March 2026. Also New York artist DEJA DEAD will release DISCONNECTED_ on 12 March 2026.
Across four tracks, DISCONNECTED_ blends cinematic alt-rock infused with industrial electronics, trip-hop atmosphere, and grungy sonic architecture. The record explores themes of isolation, technology addiction, and anhedonic revelation, trying to move forward in a world that just keeps pushing back.
DISCONNECTED_ is written and performed by DEJA DEAD and produced by RICO — once described by Kerrang! as Glasgow’s “one-man nihilistic sound terrorist” — in a creative collision that left a mark on both the record and the artists themselves.

The event will combine storytelling, behind the scenes footage from the recording studio, and the premiere of a neon-drenched techno-horror short film produced alongside the album, which is soundtracked by the music— offering audiences a first-hand introduction to the world behind the new release.
It all begins with “SNAPSHOTS”, a deeply introspective track written during a period of personal upheaval. The song reflects on memory, loss and the moment when clarity begins to emerge from chaos. Lyrically, it captures the feeling of being surrounded by fragments of the past and trying to connect the dots (“Red string forms a timeline/tangled all over my room”) before making the conscious decision to break free and step toward healing (“You won’t take me back there!”).
“To me, SNAPSHOTS is about looking back in order to move forward,” says DEJA
DEAD. “It takes hitting rock bottom, going to that place that’s so dark, so lost… until a new image starts coming through— possibly a way out.”
A distinctive element of the track is its atmospheric introduction, which was recorded on the last remaining cinema organ in Scotland — a rare instrument that adds a haunting, cinematic texture and subtly ties the song to the visual and theatrical themes of the upcoming event.
The Glasgow Film Theatre event will serve as a broad presentation of DEJA DEAD’s evolving artistic world, blending music, film and narrative in a setting designed to mirror the song’s emotional journey.
“SNAPSHOTS” was written and performed by DEJA DEAD and produced by RICO. The single will be available across all platforms later this month.
