The Dead South Chains & Stakes

"Chains & Stakes" came to life at Panoram Studio in Mexico City, a testament to The Dead South's adventurous spirit following their productive venture to Muscle Shoals, Alabama for "Sugar & Joy." This newfound boldness, coupled with a deep-seated trust in their collaborative team, led them to venture further south. Reconnecting with Jimmy Nutt, the Grammy-awarded producer behind "Sugar & Joy," the band embarked on an intensive creative journey. This commenced with a pre-production phase and evolved into a two-week recording marathon, enriched by the creation of supplementary materials such as photographs and videos to complement the album's launch. The outcome is a compelling tapestry of unexpected twists, unforgettable melodies, masterful artistry, and raw, introspective narratives. "Chains & Stakes" encapsulates the quintessential essence of The Dead South, striking a distinctive balance between somber themes and a light-hearted demeanor that has become their signature.
