DARWIN Feat. SIMON PHILLIPS, GREG HOWE, DEREK SHERINIAN And MOHINI DEY Talk Songwriting For Five Steps On The Sun Album (Video)
June 15, 2024, 5 months ago
DarWin featuring Simon Phillips, Mohini Dey, Greg Howe, and Matt Bissonette, have released their new album, Five Steps On The Sun. In the clip below, the band discusses the songwriting process for the record.
DarWin is an ongoing musical exploration driven by Simon Phillips and DarWin (DW). The music seeks to elevate the power of crafted songs, and the collection of songs into an album experience. Groove, energy, melody and harmony are all simultaneously prioritized. The songs should feel both original but somehow familiar.
The duo has collaborated with Matt Bissonette since 2015 as a song writing trio, fusing the diverse interests and experiences of the group. Matt’s vocals provide a soothing sonic resonance over novel rhythmic landscapes.
Follow-up to the critically acclaimed epic albums Origin Of Species and Frozen War, DarWin and Simon Phillips expand on their trademark sound - adding new levels of depth and melody.
The new album features a stellar lineup of musicians - Indian bassist Mohini Dey joins the band bringing her fiery playing, and Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater) and Greg Howe return to the project.
Five Steps On The Sun is available on CD and strictly Limited Heavyweight Vinyl including exclusive poster.
