Kate Dressed Up

Kate Dressed Up has released their second single of the year with ‘How Could I Have Known,’ a queer folk rock song about mixed signals and missed opportunities. The lyrics are lamenting yet tongue-in-cheek, carried by trumpets that bring a dynamic energy to the Kate Dressed Up sound while seemingly endless layers bloom in the explosive second chorus. ‘How Could I Have Known’ was produced by SPHMRE, and is the second single off the debut album from Kate Dressed Up. The creation of this song began with just Katie Miller and her Martin guitar, as most Kate Dressed Up songs do. The inspiration came in a moment when Miller realized that her uncertain relationship with her own sexuality had led to moments in which she had perceived friendship when, perhaps, something more was being offered. This is a bisexual person’s anthem about being invisible and at the same time remaining totally clueless as to how to make themselves known. When Miller and SPHMRE connected, it was obvious that this song called for a big sound and the two put their heads together. The result is the first Kate Dressed Up song featuring horns, played by Adam Herschberger and Dawn Webster of West Philadelphia Orchestra. Listen below.

Her new single ‘Dark Canyon’ fuses together elements of energy and sadness, a complex interior battle. “The single discusses the idea of drowning into a deep dark canyon of obscure depression, whilst life around you becomes an unstable feeling of negative voices and failure, every morning has the same hopeless light,” she explains. “As a rescuing wave, the energetic drop symbolizes the light in the dark.” Listen below.

The Famous Daxx

The Famous Daxx’s debut single ‘Weatherman’ is out not. The song is the first instalment of four singles that are to be released in the following months and introduces the cinematic retro soundscape of Daxx. ‘Weatherman’ is a window inside the artists mind in times of confusion and change, drawing influences from the soundtracks of Ennio Morricone, the psychedelic phase of the Beatles and Supertramp as well as modern grunge bands like Wolf Alice. The song is a dynamic journey carried by Daxx’s vocals and surfy guitars, supported by the retro sound of vintage tape recordings. It was recorded with producer Lucas Polo in London, with an all-female session band consisting of drummer Gabi King (Declan McKenna), bassist Josefine van Jonson (Los Bitchos) and pianist Sara de Santis (Tricky), as well as Daxx and Polo on guitars and synths. Daxx says: “The decision to only use female session musicians was a very personal one, but also a statement that I wanted to present to the world: here are the amazing female instrumentalists that so many people just conveniently overlook – you just need to make the effort to find them.” Listen below.
