Bleep

Since self-releasing his music in 2020, Scottish producer and vocalist dvr has risen to become a formidable force in forward-thinking underground pop. His approach with tape_01 and the single ‘Thru The City’ reveals a ruthless hook-seeker’s mentality, easily imaginable for major radio play, yet steeped in the experimentalist artistry of Frank Ocean, Tyler, The Creator and Kaytranada. The likes of ‘lonely’ and ‘am sleep’ are as soulful as they are strange, a fantastical melding of glimmering funk guitar and bedroom pop distortion, sealed in an effortlessly melodious package. There’s no better introduction to dvr than this EP and single combo, compiled on one disc.
