DIRTY SOUND MAGNET

|February 2024
Swiss psychedelic trio Dirty Sound Magnet have created a unique racket that's both thrillingly expansive and potently evocative.
-

On their fourth album Dreaming In Dystopia, they combine the sonic directness of Jimi Hendrix and The Doors with the leftfield innovation typified by Frank Zappa.
"I know it sounds old-fashioned but creative liberty in the '60s and '70s made music so rich and powerful," says guitarist/ singer Stavros Dzodzos. "We try to keep our music organic, and that's why people might call it 'vintage'. We're not trying to create a big wall of noise with loads of compression and processing. It's a matter of taste."
