The track euphorically unfolds around a single melody, showcasing Daedelus‘ ability to create exceptional music. Purchase a copy for yourself and check it out.

° My Dry Wet Mess – “Etcetera” °
by Danger

So we received another gem from My Dry Wet Mess, and I am getting pulled more and more into his music. Seems like everything I’m listening to these days has this almost glitchy sound, but MDWM definitely takes it to an upbeat place. His debut LP was released yesterday on Daedelus‘ label Magical Properties. So go on and grab it while it’s hot!
