DYVR

"...brooding electronica..."- The Line of Best Fit

"...rhythmic electronics and lush soundscapes..." - Dork

“…a chillingly spellbinding experience.” - Earmilk

Indie-electro artist DYVR returns with another ethereal ear worm to sweep you off your feet. Louder is out on 29th November 2019 via Veta Records.

Combining subtle guitar twangs with haunting electronic soundscapes, Louder once again showcases DYVR’s unique ability to defy genre. His distinctive falsetto soars effortlessly over the majestic musicality, feeling instantly reminiscent of the likes of Sampha or James Blake. Known for writing poignant lyrics with a powerful message, with Louder, DYVR looks at the queer community and the sexual pressures that can occur within it. DYVR elaborates, "a lot of the community is under pressure to be sexually promiscuous. Sex is often treated transactionally and short term validation is currency to be traded. I'm a queer person in a non-monogamous relationship, and it's amazing to me how often I have conversations with people in the LGBTQ+ community who feel as though they are somehow betraying their 'different-ness' by wanting certain more traditional things from their romantic lives. Louder is about how we trivialise connections with people in order to maintain our queer identity”.

DYVR has received praise from an array of well-regarded publications including The Line of Best Fit, Dork, Earmilk and Attitude Magazine, as well as BBC 6Music’s Lauren Laverne to name but a few.

Louder is the second track from DYVR’s forthcoming EP, Part Two, following Part One, which was released last year. Part Two is due for release next year. Louder is out on 29th November 2019 via Veta Records.
