Marriage is the third and final studio album by American rock duo Deap Vally. It was released on November 19, 2021, via Cooking Vinyl.[5][6][4][7][8][3][9]
The album title alludes to the way both members see their relationship as bandmates; at one point they even attended couples therapy.[10] In order to reduce their sense of boredom with the band, they decided to work with guests. Marriage features collaborations with KT Tunstall, Peaches, Jennie Vee (Eagles of Death Metal), Ayse Hassan (Savages), Jenny Lee Lindberg (Warpaint) and Jamie Hince (The Kills).[4][10][11][6][5][12][2] They have referred to the album as their "rumspringa".[9][4][6][5]
The duo asked the collaborators to feel no pressure, wanting the songs to be free and uncommitted to specific genres.[12] They claim that having released an album with The Flaming Lips (under the moniker Deap Lips) had no influence in the more collaborative approach of Marriage, since the partnerships were already contemplated before Deap Lips.[12]
The album was recorded in several venues around the United States, including Dave Grohl's Studio 606, Allen Salmon's Nashville studio and Josiah Mazzaschi's Cave Studio.[11]
The track "Billions" challenges society's celebration of billionaires and their influence on people's life goals[10] while "Better Run" was inspired by the Harvey Weinstein sexual abuse cases.[12]
