Levitation is also offering their own colored vinyl variant which is available HERE.
On “Purified,” Alex Capistran (guitar/vocals) says: “Glide through “Purified” and unwind your mind. In this track we turn down the tempo, turn up the reverb and stroll down memory lane. Reminiscing over warm nights spent cozied up while spiraling through meaningless conversation on a dopamine cloud. ‘Purified’s’ reverb soaked guitar riffs, tender vocals and euphoric rhythm translate the weightlessness of being in love. For me this song hits close to the heart and I hope it finds its way to yours too.”
Made up of Alex Capistran, Nick Cornetti (drums), Misti Hamrick (bass) and Derek Strahan (keys), DAIISTAR formed in the spring of 2020. Creating a narcotic blend of noise and melody, the band takes their inspiration from the neo-psychedelic era of the 80s and 90s and pulls it into the future with modulating synthesizers, heavy guitars, bouncing bass lines, and spiraling hooks. Their debut studio album, Good Time, was produced by Alex Maas of The Black Angels and engineered by James Petralli of White Denim.
“To us these songs were a glimmer of light,” Capistran recalls: “Starting a band at the peak of the pandemic to some might seem ill timed, but to us it was a way to escape for a moment. There was something to look forward to and we kept our heads in the future. These songs guided us through some dark times and hopefully they can do the same for you. GOOD TIME is here!”
