New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Drug addiction and bullying are both so prevalent among today's youth. While the issues may not affect every individual, most young people can say they know someone struggling with peer pressure and the temptations we often face in new social situations. Growing up is hard and it's even harder when your mind is not in the right place.
Dwellings recognize the epidemic of addiction in their new music video for "See It Through". The video depicts the destructive cycle of a young man in midst of addiction while also showing the bullying and childhood trauma that led to his current situation. Toward the end of the video, the man is is face to face with his childhood self, seeing the innocence he has lost. When asked about the song, the band had this to say: "The song raises addiction awareness. We got some awesome people to be a part of the video and hope that addiction is not something to be taken lightly, rather we reach out to those who are struggling". Dwellings will be releasing their debut full-length record, Lavender Town on June 29th via Tragic Hero Records
About Dwellings:
Isaac Wilson and Anthony Pacheco met through pretty ordinary circumstances, but they have been stirring up a graceful maelstrom, bending the foundations of progressive rock music ever since. The duo achieves their sound by fusing perpetually mutating polyrhythms, lush chords, and smooth melodies. Though their songs are dense and virtuosic, they have a childlike playfulness that lies underneath; imagine an Olympic gold medal swimmer enchanted by dancing bubbles. However, there are sharks in the water, and sometimes they're drawn to the surface by an aggressive riff or a guttural vocal. Moments like these never overstay their welcome. If there's one message Dwellings wants to spread, it's that no obstacle is worth sacrificing your happiness; the best way to overcome something is by moving forward and having a bit of fun while you're at it.
Lavender Town is a berserk rocket ride through the warped space of a cartoon dimension that offers listeners swirling and fizzing pools of color to wash away their spiritual umbra. Songs such as "Foreverest" weave tender beds of arpeggiated guitars reminiscent of a music box. On the other end of the emotional spectrum are the tracks "Snake Charmer" and " Lemonade" which are far more blustery. The thread tying these songs together are sensual, yet extremely volatile vocals that glide like a caressing hand, but will punish with stinging claws if under too much stress. "Lavender Town" is a shining example of where rock music is headed, with Dwellings in the captain's chair commanding "Warp Factor 1".
