Beneath The Surface: Dady

ticketmastersComment(0)

Welcome, welcome one and all to this Fridays edition of Beneath The Surface. Today I am joined by the wonderful New York based girl, boy duo Dady on the release of their brand new single ‘Dark Mode’. Grab a seat and lets get down to business… oh and I’ve heard that ‘Dark Mode’ makes for great interview reading music 😉

What would you say first sparked your interest in music/who inspired you to make music?
We both grew up loving emo music, going to shows at our local rec center, and listening to acts like Brand New and The Early November. That era of music was a but of a musical awakening for us and in many ways inspired us to make it ourselves.

How would you describe the music you are currently creating?
We started out making pretty produced alt-pop (which I’d venture to say is still our touchstone), but with Dark Mode we definitely started to explore a warmer, more organic sound. Chalk it up to turning 30 or all the Phoebe Bridgers we listened to over the course of the pandemic, but we’re happy take our foot off the gas for a bit.

What does your creative process look like?
Sometimes we’ll write to a track that Jesse produces or start by Rachel jamming on keys (patiently) waiting for Jesse to like something. 🙂

Who would you most like to collaborate with? (let’s send it out to the universe and make it happen!)
The ultimate dream would have been to collaborate with SOPHIE. She was limitless. Rest in peace.

What is the one message you would like to send out to your fans?
Hi!

What’s your top tip to rejuvenate your creativity/get over a writer’s block?
Take a walk. When you’re feeling blocked it always helps to step away from the work and return to it with fresh ears.

What’s next for you, what do we have to look forward to/ what are you currently working on?
We’re going to focus on just writing and releasing more work regularly. We tend to take our time with this project and we’re stoked to put more work out soon.

New website offers academic approach to post-1983 Pink Floyd

ticketmasters

PubliusEnigma.co.uk (https://www.publiusenigma.co.uk/) – is focused on Pink Floyd’s post-1983 activity, with an “additional focus on, and an expansive view of, the studio and touring musicians associated with them.” Ed notes that “The idea is to provide a resource that spans Pink Floyd’s ‘David Gilmour era’, from the departure of Roger Waters through today. This period set the stage for the longest era in the band’s history and for each band member’s most prolific work outside the band itself.” To coincide with the launch of the site, there are new interviews with The McBroom Sisters (Pink Floyd backing vocalists), Bjørn Riis (vocalist and guitarist for Norwegian band Airbag and publisher of Gimourish.com), Scott Page (Pink Floyd saxophonist and rhythm guitar player), and with Jon Carin (of Pink Floyd, Roger Waters, and David Gilmour) in a piece titled A History and Anatomy of Yet Another Movie. With photography by Marie Lopez and artwork by Ahmed Emad Eldin, designer of the album cover for Pink Floyd’s The Endless River, the site is well worth visiting, at PubliusEnigma.co.uk (https://www.publiusenigma.co.uk/), and we wish Ed all the very best with it!

As you all know, the 50th Anniversary of Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side Of The Moon is next month, with a deluxe box set, the Live At Wembley 1974 LP and CD sets, and the official book (which we’ve seen and is very nice) that’s included in the box set, and available separately too, all being released on March 24th. Full details of all these, here (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/latest/pink-floyds-the-dark-side-of-the-moon-50th-anniversary-box-set-anno.html). Exclusively, though, for the Japanese market (but thanks to HMV.co.jp (https://www.hmv.co.jp/en/artist_Pink-Floyd_000000000004473/item_The-Dark-Side-Of-The-Moon-Hybrid-Multi-Ch-Edition_13590862) and CDJapan (https://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/SICP-10143), available worldwide online) is a hybrid SACD (Super Audio CD) version of the album, bundled with loads of reproduction memorabilia – as seen to the right! For those unfamiliar with hybrid SACDs, they hold higher resolution audio, often with surround sound versions as well as standard stereo, and the stereo version is playable on all normal CD/DVD/Blu-ray players. To play the multi-channel audio, you need a compatible player, but as the format was devised by Sony and Philips, there are plenty of those around still. The surround and stereo versions of TDSOTM on this SACD is as released in 2021 on the SACD from Analogue Productions SACD. The album is packaged in typical Japanese style – a 7″ version of the original album cover, along with the stickers and posters you would hope to be included in this reproduction.

New issue of Prog magazine features Pink Floyd’s TDSOTM

ticketmasters

new issue (issue 142) of the UK’s Prog Magazine (https://www.magazinesdirect.com/az-single-issues/47052423/prog-magazine-single-issue.thtml). Always a great read, this month’s issue – as made clear from the striking cover – has a major feature of particular interest to Pink Floyd fans. As you all know, Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side Of The Moon celebrated its 50th anniversary earlier this year. Following the album’s release the band performed two shows at London’s Earls Court venue, catapulting themselves into a world of huge arena shows and conceptual albums that would become their trademark. But at the same time it would also prove to be the start of the band’s undoing. By the time they performed The Wall in 1980 at the very same venue, the writing was, well… The new issue of Prog explores how “Dark Side changed Pink Floyd forever. Ten years after its release the band were in turmoil…” Elsewhere in the magazine, John Lees talks about the making of Barclay James Harvest’s classic Once Again album while Soft Machine bring everyone up to speed with their brand new album Other Doors, as do prog Eurovision stars Voyager, while Enslaved’s Ivar Bjørnson tells the magazine about his journey from extreme metal to prog, Nordic folk and beyond. Plus Arjen Lucassen, The Fierce And The Dead, Mystery, Ring Van Möbius, Godsticks, Fate’s Warning’s Ray Alder, I Am The Manic Whale and Avenged Sevenfold bring us up to speed about their new albums and they review live gigs from Peter Gabriel, Porcupine Tree, Roger Waters, Muse and more… Prog 142 also comes with four Pink Floyd postcards and there’s a great 23-track Spirit Of Unicorn Records sampler featuring music from Keith Emerson, Greg Lake, John Wetton, DBA, Focus and loads more. If your local store doesn’t stock this magazine, you can get a copy, shipped anywhere in the world, through this direct link (https://www.magazinesdirect.com/az-single-issues/47052423/prog-magazine-single-issue.thtml). Make sure you pick the correct issue!
