Prolific American songwriter Brookln Dekker is about to release his fourth album in five years. Building on a quietly momentous 2024, which saw 70 million streams and dozens of shows to ever-growing audiences across Europe, Dekker (as he is better known) has mined a rich personal seam for the 11-song LP. Neither Up Nor Down braves both the pitch black and blinding light of long-term love, the divine, and the relationship between the human and animal self.
