Death From Above 1979 split

Sad news out of Canadia this morning, as Jesse F. Keeler has announced on the official Death From Above website that the band has broken up. Apparently the decision was made almost a year ago, but their label had asked them to keep quiet about it in hopes that they would reconsider after some distance from one another. Regarding his rift with Sebastien Granger, Keeler had the following to say:

Over the last 3 years of touring, sebastien and I had grown apart to such an extent that the only real time we spoke was just before we would play and during interviews. We both changed so much that the people we were by the end of it, probably wouldnt have been friends if they were to meet for the first time again. Its a totally normal function of growing up. Like how your high school bf/gf that meant so much to you would probably be the last person you would date at 30, ya know? Thats where we got to. Its not sad.

Keeler has, of course, been busy lately with MSTRKRFT, his project with Al Puodziukas (Al-P).

R.I.P. Death From Above 1979.
