DUTCH INTERIOR - It's Glass EP - CD [MAR 6]

CD EP. 

This amorphous quality of these “weird little songs” is often what makes Dutch Interior special: the tracks can feel like a lofty exhale or a fragile manifestation, hung in the delicate balance of a moody ambiance that gradually sinks into you. They often exist built on top of fragments of microscopic memory. A somber and elongated intro then transforms into more melodic phrasing and finger plucking by Kurtz in “Play the Song,” an arrangement that evolved through a multitude of revisions and was initially abandoned before reborn in the studio, grafted with new meaning and context. Repetition and the notion of being embedded in memory is key to the band’s process, something they reference as well in the shuddering instrumental of “Say Anything,” tearing apart the tissues of music to the point that it becomes both dissociative and reassuring.

“It’s really inspiring to be consumed by music,” says Reeves, who wrote EP touchstone “I Have No Clue,” another track that meets somewhere in the middle between all of its prior (unreleased) iterations. “I wanted the landscape that the other songs have… all roads leading to the version that feels right.” Despite all the deliberate nuance of the EP, lead single “Ground Scores” stands out for its cautious optimism as a straightforward love song, revealing “how silly it is to be in love like this when the world is falling apart.” This comfort with incessant change is tantamount to who the band are: it’s often the only constant.
