Blinded by Fame, Dutch Interiors second studio album, is a fan avorite. Never before pressed to vinyl. The Long Beach based 6 piece have been in each other's lives for the better part of two decades. Jack Nugent, Conner Reeves, Shane & Hayden Barton, Davis Stewart, and Noah Kurtz were all childhood friends, and the band is a product of a creative union brought on by already-established trust and familiar insularity. You can begin to pick up the separate stylings and personalities of the band members by the songs they independently write before bringing them to the band at large, where the tracks often grow into new forms altogether. Despite this individual approach to songwriting, they describe each other as branches of the same core life whose colliding influences and experience all bleed into the songs.With Influences spanning from ambient to southern rock to jazz to dance music, the band shapeshifts and oscillates between alternative country, sharply hewn indie rock and hints of dissonant ambience, all while still sounding like a band who both speak their own private language and translate it into something universal. Coming off the release of their most recent album, ˜Moneyball, and a New EP, ˜Its Glass, via Fat Possum, Dutch Interior is here to stay. Praise for Dutch interior comes from Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, and others.
