"the dawn is breaking..."
The title track of Dallas based indie rock outfit Ego Jones' latest 13 track full length "Dormant Days" is sonically dense. A blend of post rock, dream pop and post punkian experimental edges, there is a lot to get lost in. The band began as the recording project of multi-instrumentalist, producer Jude Holland and singer-songwriter, guitarist Gabriel Garcia. As a duo, they released Ego Jones debut album “Fluoressence” in 2020 and slowly afterwards expanded to their current lineup adding guitarist Landon Headstream (Fishing in Japan), bassist / guitarist Jackson Zemler and producer / saxophonist Ethan Lacey.
"Dormant Days" (the song) while having a lovely post rock surreal tone (I thought of Porches a bit) also has tentacles reaching out to late 70's psychedelia / chamber pop tones with a current bedroom pop / shoegaze beauty. The blend of it all feels super dreamy and inviting. Other places on the album while not adopting their sounds directly in anyway, I get the sense that these young artists have deep dived into artists like Pink Floyd, Animal Collective, Radiohead and Boards of Canada.
Cool.

Ego Jones began as the recording project of Dallas based multi-instrumentalist and producer Jude Holland, and guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter Gabriel Garcia. After releasing their debut album, “Fluoressence” in the fall of 2020, the group expanded their lineup to form the current band; adding Fishing in Japan guitarist Landon Headstream, as well as bassist and guitarist Jackson Zemler, and producer / saxophonist Ethan Lacey to the group. Influenced by the worlds of indie rock, folk, jazz, and electronica, Ego Jones aims to create a refreshing and unique blend of modern day psychedelia - a spaced out type of cosmic songwriting, that reflects omnipresent abstract moods and deep, yet hard-to-define emotions.
