Swiss eclectic rock trio Dirty Sound Magnet will release their fourth full-length album, Dreaming In Dystopia, on October 20 via Australian label, Wild Thing Records.
Today they share the record’s opening track, Melodies from Distant Shores as the first single.
The unwavering innovation and experimentation that Dirty Sound Magnet applies to its sound is instantly apparent on the upcoming album’s first single Melodies from Distant Shores, bearing the vivid textures of folk rock. Its combination of kaleidoscopic guitars, kinetic percussion, atmospheric passages, and colorfully-sung lyrics coalesce into a partially autobiographical tale about Dzodzos’ upbringing in the folklore-steeped town of Fribourg, Switzerland.
“Fribourg is an old mystical town that has many gloomy legends featuring dragons, witches, and the Devil himself,” explains Dzodzos. “With ‘Melodies from Distant Shores’, I wanted to depict how I always felt like a stranger in a strange world growing up in the city, where it also doubled in cultivating this fear of the unknown as well through its mysterious history.”
