Dandelion Tea - Nylon
Friday 18th March 2016
They Say: “This song is about the positives of insomnia. Don't lie in bed tossing and turning, get up and explore the world of night and the beauty it has to offer.
The track began with a simple melody to which we started layering over chords, cool synths and drums.
The song is called Nylon because the fusion of the two keys F major and C# major that make up the tonality of the song can be likened to the physical manufacture of nylon the actual material, which is created by combining 1.6 Hexanediamine solution with Sebacoyl Chloride solution. By mixing these two solutions together in a beaker you can physically draw out threads of the material using forceps. Also, the overly synthetic sound of the opening synth is the audio equivalent of the cheap garment production you and I know as nylon.
A big shout out to Eddie the taxi legend who helped us transport our gear. This one's for you.”
We Say: “Attractive freak-folk with jazzy chord progressions and lyrics that may not make instant sense. If you have a sweet spot for Kurt Vile then these artful meanderings may be your new favourite infusion.”
Dandelion Tea’s first music video was shot at their Chord Blossom Kickstart gig in The Eg, Belfast and features members of the audience. Their E.P ‘A Picnic in Limbo’ is due for release in April.
