In a Bar, Under the Sea is the second studio album by Belgian rock band dEUS. The cover art was designed by guitarist Rudy Trouvé. The original Belgian release was by Bang!, with the only difference that track 14 is simply named "Roses", like the single.
The album was produced by Eric Drew Feldman (who was keyboard and bass player for Captain Beefheart in the late seventies and early eighties) and welcomes guests such as Scott McCloud from Girls Against Boys (on Fell Off the Floor, Man), Dana Colley from Morphine (on Supermarketsong) and Bart Maris from X-Legged Sally (on Nine Threads).
In a Bar, Under the Sea reached Platinum in Belgium (selling over 25,000 copies) and sold around 250,000 copies worldwide.Pocket Revolution - The unofficial Deus-weblog
