Move Every Muscle, Make Every Sound

De Novo Dahl, an eclectic psych-pop crew that favors stunning Nudie suits as stage uniforms; names The Flaming Lips and Mercury Rev among its major influence; and has nothing against having, say beach-themed shows in the dead of winter (of course , fans wearing bikinis and trunks get in for free). De Novo Dahl - whose moniker is a blend of Latin for "the new" and the last name of creative and visual author Roald Dahl - is poised to take its creativity to strange new heights. Self-Produced and mixed by Dave Fridmann and Tony Dugan (Flaming Lips, Super Furry Animals), the outfit's sound has deservedly hit its sometimes glammy, sometimes retro stride. Mixing electronic layers with more spare vintage garage-rock sounds, DND arrives at a modern, completely engaging axis of experimentation and catchy song craft.
