Djo – the musical project of actor / producer / songwriter Joe Keery known for his work in blockbuster projects as Stranger Things and Fargo – will release his highly anticipated new album The Crux this Friday, 4th April. Before the album drops, he shares one final preview of the record with Potion. Showcasing a different side of the record to the BBC Radio 1 playlisted single Basic Being Basic, and its Hottest Record In The World follow-up Delete Ya, Potion finds Djo in Laurel Canyon.
“Potion is like your favourite pair of blue jeans,” says Keery. “I’d been working on Travis picking when I wrote this song, so it’s kind of like if Harry Nilsson and Lindsey Buckingham had a baby.” Keery performed the majority of the songs on the entire record himself, but on this acoustic and falsetto-led track he is particularly front and centre, tackling vocals, acoustic and electric guitar, bass, drums, percussion and Mellotron.

Djo had a massive 2024 with the viral hit End of Beginning, Spotify’s #6 most streamed song of the entire year, and 2025 is shaping up to be even bigger. He recently performed Basic Being Basic on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where he was also the couch guest, and will perform on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on 14th April.
His massive world tour kicks off this Thursday with a fully sold-out North American run, and includes his festival debuts at both Coachella and Glastonbury, as well as a return to Chicago for Lollapalooza, and more. He will also play a few shows in EU/UK alongside Noah Kahan.
