Dinah - "Winter Black Lake"

Moving from touching piano ballad to sub-bass heavy electro-pop sheen, the Toronto based Dinah has released a stunningly beautiful composition with “Winter Black Lake” - leftfield production, glitch heavy movements and clever songwriting make up this “sad words into bangers” track. Of the album the press release states, “The album’s musical palette was largely inspired by Dinah’s recent purchase of a sequencer and a bass ukulele, two instruments that vibrate the body with their low frequencies. With them, Dinah creates a dynamic frisson, inventing a sound that’s as accessible as it is unusually affecting, as moving for the body as it is the mind. She was also inspired by musicians like clipping. and Björk, who incorporate glitch into their sound, as well as ‘90s techno she’d sweat to before a basketball game. There’s a sense of propulsion that stops and starts throughout the album, with Dinah relying on her own sense of timing before her voice is offered up to a driving beat.”
