Dakota Blue feels like the epitome of the modern indie artist, and Search Engine, his latest album, is a wonderfully adventurous, totally of-the-moment slice of forward-thinking music. The building blocks might sound familiar, but the sonic architecture he builds with them is new.
A blend of experimental swathes of guitar, and lush synths ebb and flow to create dream state shoegaze and noir-tinged new wave, evocative alt-pop, ambient drifts, and no small amount of gothic shade.
If you want to know what the future holds for underground and adventurous music, this is an excellent place to start.
