Chimes' "Dovetail" is a dive into atmospheric indie and post-punk!

"Dovetail" effortlessly bridging the gap between light and dark tones. Hailing from the rich Gainesville, Florida scene, the track showcases the band's evolution towards a more synth-driven sound, blending elements of synth-pop and dark wave with subtle nods to their members' roots in bands like Against Me!.

What truly sets "Dovetail" apart is its masterful slow-build. It begins as a sparse, moody backdrop, designed to subtly envelop the listener. However, this understated beginning gives way to something more substantial, revealing layers of sonic depth and emotional resonance as it unfolds. The track's cohesive arrangement, combining ethereal synths with an undeniable post-punk sensibility, creates a compelling sonic experience. "Dovetail" is an immersive journey that rewards patience, demonstrating Chimes' knack for crafting music that is both deeply atmospheric and remarkably engaging.

"Dovetail" is taken out of Chimes's latest album, released on May 23rd via Ashtray Monument, recorded in Gainesville, FL by Ryan Williams at Black Bear Audio.
