_Digital Bonfire_ to cofmrt your pandemic malaise and take you to a higher ground.
We ignite DECOUPLR on Echoes.” –**Echoes (PRX)**

“Decouplr manage to implicate the notion of solitary aloneness so prevalent in electronic-
based music – an icy signature of the genre, a sign of quarantine times – while 
pursuing something equally warm and organic.”
– **Dosage Magazine**

“Icily electronic… noodling through moody synth-phonica.” – **Philadelphia Weekly**

“Exploring the intersection of digital and organic sounds… [“Cold Sweat”] previews
the tech-driven style of DECOUPLR’s music, with trip-hop percussion and synths atmospheres.”–**

Following the release of their new album **_DIGITAL BONFIRE_**, Philadelphia electronic-
indie duo **DECOUPLR **(**Bailey Walker** and **Adam Laub**) have teamed up with**
Under The Radar** to release a new glimmering technicolor music video for the song“**
Cold Sweat.**”

_“
Thick trip hop percussion, atmospheric synths, and languid melodies provide an icy
instrumental backing while Bailey Walker acts as the song’s welcoming human core.
Walker’s vocals stretch across the cool digital soundscape, presenting a sensuous
invite for stolen warmth.”_ -Under The Radar

The video is directed by the expert visual design team **[SUPERVOID.tv](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=14329d7b53&e=615f2b8493)**,
who have worked visuals for _The Disco Biscuits, Magfest, Tom Morello & The Atlas
Underground_, and even _Mystery Science Theater 3000 Live_. 

“It was an amazing experience to get to work with SUPERVOID.tv,” says Laub. “One
of the more unique effects that their team was able to create was done by strapping
multicolored crystals to the edges of the camera lenses. The crystals overlapped
the shot, and by setting up lights that refracted through the crystals, the camera
shots gained a colorful, kaleidoscopic effect.”

Walker adds, “‘Cold Sweat’ is a reflection of the dizzying parts of isolation. By
combining shots that placed us on opposite sides of the room with the claustrophobic
and eerie visual effects between us, we were able to capture the feeling of being
alone while standing right next to the people you are closest with.”

Beginning 2019 in West Philadelphia, DECOUPLR came to be when they realized that
meshing Bailey Walker’s long history of live vocal performance with Adam Laub’s 
world of electronic music (and electronics in general) created a unique sound altogether.
Their debut _DIGITAL BONFIRE_ is an 11 track album that offers a fresh take on the
digital world’s fusion with the physical. 

Influenced by musicians like Trent Reznor, Sylvan Esso, and Flying Lotus, the album
ranges from dreamy and sweet with tracks like “**Keepsake**” and “**Osage**”, to
punchy and playful on “**Changes**” and “**Punchline**”. The album draws from the
helpless feelings of countless pandemic hours spent sitting on voice chats and video
calls, while at the same time snarkily expressing the hopefulness found in the changing
forms of communication within our closest relationships.

Lyrically, Walker opens up about everything from nomadically moving around the country,
to growing up with touring musicians, to the feelings of dread and anxiety we have
in our everyday conversations. Musically, Laub pulls deep, live sampled hip hop 
drums, mellotron flutes, vintage synth pads and twinkly arpeggiators to create a
palette of electronic sounds that range from hip hop to dance. The digital age is
a tether that keeps people connected no matter where they are, and _DIGITAL BONFIRE_
explores the ever increasing feelings of loneliness that are associated with this
new connection. It embraces the oftentimes cold nature of electronic music as a 
framework to express the very real feelings we have surrounding the uncertainty 
of our modern world.

**_DIGITAL BONFIRE_** by **DECOUPLR** is available to stream on all DSP’s. The band
is available for interviews.
