Robert Deeble is an acclaimed singer/songwriter whose lush and poetic songs have a cinematic quality that bring to his spare, core compositions a stirring, atmospheric quality. Deeble released his latest albums The Space Between Us in August 1, 2025 on vinyl, CD and digital download with the streaming debut set for February 6, 2026. The record gestated from 2020 to 2024 as an expression of and commentary on the “relational dysfunction” (per the artist’s notes on the album) of American society over the past several years even stretching further back than the administrations of the three most recent presidents but brought into more focused intensity since the COVID-19 pandemic. Deeble looks past these conflicts and finds more strength in our vulnerability and our capacity for empathy. The record is an expansion of Deeble’s songwriting without sacrificing the delicacy of feeling that has made his music noteworthy from the beginning. The album came about as a result of Deeble’s partnership with former Over the Rhine musician Ric Hordinski combining Deeble’s work with string players in his new home city of Seattle and Hordinksi’s circle of musicians in Cincinnati. In the interview we discuss among other subjects his roots in Long Beach, California, the impact of his background in psychology on his songwriting and how maybe the political and cultural divide in America might be bridged.
