Having emerged from the wilderness with debut single ‘Somewhere In The Inbetween’, Glaswegian born singer DM Arthur returns, with sophomore effort ‘Sinkin’ With Fishes’ a hypnotic indie folk anthem featuring vocals from label mate, upcoming singer-songwriter Alissimon. He has received early support from Roddy Hart, Shereen Cutty and Phoebe IH at BBC Radio Scotland, Jim Gelatly at Amazing Radio and was championed by Alex Rainbird.
DM Arthur met Alissimon through label boss, producer Eliot James (Two Door Cinema Club, Noah & The Whale), she describes: “When Eliot first played me the song I was immediately drawn in by the beautiful, upbeat instrumental paired with these very emotional and cathartic lyrics. The theme of the song I’m sure is one that a lot of different people can relate to, so when the guys asked me to sing on the track I was really excited to add an extra voice into that sentiment”
“It was a total joy to have Alissimon on this track. Her vocal has some of that magic energy and a folksy charm which just elevates the hell out of the track.”
Talking about the meaning of the song DM Arthur explains: “It’s a song about feeling disconnected to the world around you, dealing with anxiety and learning to let go.”.
“It was a total joy to have Alissimon on this track. Her vocal has some of that magic energy and a folksy charm which just elevates the hell out of the track.”
DM Arthur will be playing his first live show later this month as part of Kin Records Night at West Hampstead Arts Club, Sept 22nd in London alongside label mates Bea Stewart, Lydia Oliver and REUNIØN. Tickets are free and available from dice now.
