DYAN Strikes Again!

13217351_603605876464682_1879318460626816331_oA few months ago I shared with you this single from DYAN, or the project of Alexis Marsh of Los Angeles. But before she will go on to release her debut album, she’s shared the title track of that upcoming record with us all. Below is “Looking For Knives,” which is an emotionally heavy track that will hit you hard with its minimalist aesthetic. Synths waiver and pulse through the mix, while Marsh’s vocals cut through these dark undertones with her crisp and lucid vocals. You also get gentle guitar sounds and the introduction of percussion elements as the song progresses. It’s a subtle number, but one you’ll find revisiting throughout the day, especially when the saxophone solo at the end comes through. Take a listen and then be ready for Looking For Knives, which will be out July 29th.

Up-and-Comer: DYAN

dyanDYAN is a three piece that are making music out of LA, but from their sound, you wouldn’t know it. What I mean by that is that I expect all LA bands to be sunny/jangly rock, and though that is a naive assumption, I still get a little surprised when the sound is melancholic and quiet. But”St. James,” is the kind of track that will make your day and then get you super stoked as to what will come next from the band. It’s a minimalistic dream pop song that spotlights the rich and smooth vocals of Alexis Marsh as they provide a glossy layer of lush beauty over the whole tune. Truly, this is a wonderful tune, and I’ll be on the lookout for more from them.
