Boston’s Wayward Noise Duo Bedazzle On Repeat With New Album ‘IMPRESSIONS’.
Dyr Faser is another side project of musical centipede Ty Segall. Well it’s actually not, but it could have been. Why? The echoing and waywardly glam garage rock sonority, the fuzz and buzz guitar electricity à la the early days of The Jesus And Mary Chain, and the 60s chaotic The Velvet Underground jangliness in Warhol‘s hedonistic club The Factory, are gloomy ingredients you find on several Segall albums too.
Expect repetitive layers of jagged riffs (on Bronze, Two Headed Monster, Reductive Silence, and Connection, just to name a few). The Boston duo Eric Bøømhower and Amelia May alternate vocals, both sounding as if they were recorded in The Cramps 70s psychobilly
bat cave. Spooky at times, ghostly at times. Once you start up Impressions you’ll stay with it for the full 12 tracks. It’s a record that works as a sonic magnet, accentuating again the bedazzling power of repetition.

Boston area noise rockers DYR FASER may have just come into their own with their latest and arguably their most accomplished release. It’s a 12-track LP called Impressions and their signature psych and post-punk concoctions are intact but this time around they’ve sharpened, if you will, almost every aspect of their vibe, vocals, arrangements, and production.
I imagine some form of the Minority Report screens where Eric Boomhower and Amelia May are pulling and arranging inspirations from the likes of Hüsker Dü, Jefferson Airplane, The 13th Floor Elevators, Pixies, The Doors, and many more to create their burgeoning nonconformist yet palpable rocknroll.
If college and alt-rock radio were still as potent as it once was, tracks like the May-driven psych-out “Parade”; the Lou Reed vibed “Reductive Silence”; the noisy lullaby “Best of Time”, and the closer, “Demonized” would all have the request lines blazing and kids melting into their dorm room floors.
Experience it all for yourself, you can stream the beautifully weird worlds of DYR FASER Impressions, here at the GTC.

My friend Eric Bøømhower's band DYR FASER have released a new album and it might just be their best one yet. A swirling dream of an album that takes you back to a time when artists made music for the sheer joy of making music. With snazzy distorted guitar hooks wrapping around short and euphoric songs, this is the band's most accessible work to date. Fans of alt and psych rock should definitely give the album a listen. Here's the link...!!!

“DYR FASER, for us, is kind of a “Gotcha!” band as they seemingly drop releases out of nowhere and when they do they’re not only a pleasant surprise but also constantly contain the kind of music that just sticks with you. New release Falling Stereos is no different with 10 all new tracks of pure modern Alt Rawk bliss from the duo of Amelia May and Eric Boomhower.”
