DANG DENS
Jamin’s musical pursuits have grown more experimental over time and his recent exploration under the moniker DANG DENS presents the experiment. It is questionable whether some of the “songs” without lyrics are actually songs. Found sound and strange effected synthesizers and guitars are mixed with pared down piano and the occasional drum machine. Reflection and disruption hang out together but the result is creative and interesting. Listen to it while you create. DANG DENS makes you ask questions. DANG DENS makes you pause. If you’re interested, start with “Aunt Nobody Nose” and the single “Heady”. Listen and download it all at the link below.
