With a penchant for unconventional indie-pop and an atmosphere of brotherly love surrounding them, Dizzy Spells’ debut record is the amalgam of multi-instrumentalists Taylor Stover, Tyler Boyd and Brayden Deskins, bound together by a weird sense of humor, the occasional Lagavulin, and deep camaraderie.
After nine years on and off in multiple Bay Area-based bands and eleven years of being best friends, Dizzy Spells crystallized around the three musicians’ pop sensibilities with left-of-center quirkiness and love of found sounds. Taking inspiration from their favorite artists across all genres (Glass Animals, Still Woozy, and Dirty Projectors come to mind), collaboration is paramount for them amidst a world of uncertainties.
Their upcoming debut album sees the group combining the best of indie-pop with dashes of noodly guitar flourishes, lofi hip hop production, and found footage samples. We’re excited to premiere the new song “Want” – streaming below! The track is serenely atmospheric, without losing an ounce of its hooky indie-pop brilliance. Put simply, “Want” is a damn fine combination of styles.
In their own words:
“This song was an exercise in minimalism for us, particularly the lyrics. We have a tendency to overcrowd our music with too many words and, this time around, we wanted lines and melodies that were short and sweet to fit the minimalist vibe. In the end, we ended up stripping a bunch of ideas that would have congested “Want” both lyrically and musically, so that it might breathe a bit more. If you listen to our other singles like “Ohhh No” and “Hiya”, you’ll definitely notice a sort of manic maximalism that we purposefully left out of “Want”. It was a really useful exploration for us to be conscious of and structure the melodies around the idea of keeping it simple for this song!”
