Dash Hammerstein releases new EP

Hailing from Brooklyn, Dash Hammerstein is an artist who plays all the parts of his music project with the addition of a rotating group of friends who bring extra backing vocals and instrumentation such as horns, strings and anything so complex Dash won’t even pretend to play it.

With a varied range of inspirations from artists such as Roxy Music, The Kinks, Ween, Bill Callahan, Aldous Harding and Brian Eno, Dash Hammerstein crafts his own style of singer-songwriter music that flows between acoustic indie folk to glam rock to surf pop.

Since 2016 when Dash released his debut album Grapefruit Rhythm, he’s proved to be a truly prolific artist, dropping multiple singles, EPs and album over the last six years. While he has less time to play his music live, instead focusing on his career as a film score composer and music director, he’s still intrinsically linked to the New York venues such as Rockwood, Bowery Electric and Manderley where he first ventured out on his sonic journey.

Having already released a new single and album this year, he now brings us his latest work with the new EP titled Time Travel / Hot Pretzel. Featuring five original compositions, with his new EP, Dash Hammerstein once again showcases his joyous sound full of colourful arrangements and instantly memorable vocal leads.

Recorded between his home studio in Brooklyn and a studio in Tribeca, Time Travel / Hot Pretzel marks the point where the artist stops trying to sound like a full band on his own and instead embraces the fact that for the most part, it’s just him alone in the studio.
