In a Bar, Under the Sea, the second album from Antwerp's dEUS, came out on Island in 1996 (on Bang! back home in Belgium), and it's a gloriously restless thing. Eric Drew Feldman, once Captain Beefheart's keyboard and bass man, produced, which makes a kind of sense: the record lurches from tender to unhinged and back again without warning.
Tom Barman sings and plays guitar, Klaas Janzoons adds keyboards and violin, and guests drop in from across the underground: Scott McCloud of Girls Against Boys on "Fell Off the Floor, Man", Morphine's Dana Colley on "Supermarketsong" and Bart Maris of X-Legged Sally on "Nine Threads". "Roses" and "Little Arithmetics" are the songs that stuck, and guitarist Rudy Trouvé designed the cover. It went platinum in Belgium and sold around 250,000 copies worldwide.
