Compositionally daring and experimentally minded
DTDA’s second EP ‘Distance Waits’ melds the depth of
Oceansize with the irresistible force of
Failure. Featuring ex-members of Instruction,
Nora,
Errortype and
Ex Number Five,
DTDA expertly build pure melodic rock and fuse it with elements of prog. ‘Ghost I Own’ and ‘Before The Sunrise’ are ethereal soundscapes delivered with disarming vocal ease. ‘Your Atlantis’ a track based around a dream, harks back to 08s ‘Calling Orion’ in its artfully detailed arrangements and sweeping harmonies. This is a music geeks wet dream, ticking the right boxes from soaring guitar lines through to a coherent and flawless production. Lovely.
