Delivering an intense sonic boom infused with huge doses of melody, Engineer Records brings you the brand new EP from (Damn) This Desert Air titled Nebulosity. This return to recorded form is the band’s first release in 7 years, a follow up to their full-length album Pyramids in which Engineer Records co-released with Belgium’s Funtime Records and Spain’s Desert Pearl Union, both other labels now defunct. This is (Damn) This Desert Air’s fourth release overall, aside from compilation appearances including tribute albums in the name of 90’s underground tastemakers, Hum and Failure.

On Nebulosity, (Damn) This Desert Air barges through the door with the surging entrance of “Body Anchor (Back in Atlantis)”, it’s opening track and lead off single. The song sets the stage for the wide range of tone bending audio within. Drums are impactful with just the right punch and pocket; Guitars surge with layers of saturation around the warm, driving bass; Brazen vocals both in your face and memorably sung provide a commanding lead mere seconds after pressing play. Strings swell in the background at times, never too omnipresent, yet enhancing the bed of emotion within. All beautifully blended together by engineer/mixer Chris Badami at Portrait Recording Studios. Three riff-laden tracks and one pensively evocative closer are what (D)TDA delivered, leaving the impulsive desire to unravel the layers within, upon each additional listen.
