Praise for GUS DAPPERTON:
“…pop maestro from upstate New York who has captured the hearts of thousands across the globe with his dreamy soundscapes capturing his expansive internal world.” – High Snobiety
“A cross between Spooky Black and the Beach Boys interweaved with ’80s influences, Dapperton’s sound is both unique and instantly accessible.” – Teen Vogue
“He breathes life back into the the gender ambiguity of 60’s rock stars and the colorful punk of the 80’s new wave. His music is a slow and synth breath of fresh, nostalgic air. “ – V Magazine

Another slice of off-kilter pop goodness will be revealed tomorrow, by the greatest Wes Anderson character that never was, Gus Dapperton. The US smooth-crooning sensation has burst forward with a brilliantly pieced together release WHERE POLLY PEOPLE GO TO READ out tomorrow via AWAL Recordings.
PRE-ORDER “WHERE POLLY PEOPLE GO TO READ” HERE
Across 10 tracks, WHERE POLLY PEOPLE GO TO READ builds on the charm of Dapperton’s debut EPs. The release builds on his timeless combination of 60’s soft-rock, 70’s psych and 80’s new wave, while also broadening his sonic palette, as showcased on the R&B hued “My Favorite Fish”. Record opener “Verdagris” is anchored by delicate touches of percussion, the raw “Fill Me Up Anthem” features some of Dapperton’s most poetic lyrics to date, and the rapturous “Eyes For Ellis” reveals the many shades and nuances of his artistry. Alongside his natural knack for songwriting, the album couldn’t feel more current, relatable or authentic.
“The album is basically what I see inside of my head, and it’s the dimension you’re entering when you hear it,” Dapperton explains. “It’s very personal and honest to me. There are a few emotional roller coasters. I’ve come to terms with reality and the inconveniences inherent in how I see things. Being able to express myself however I want, regardless of the resulting good or bad, makes me feel content and real.”

In a short period of time, Dapperton has gone from bedroom dreamer to headlining artist. He quietly ascended to the forefront of the pop conversation on the heels of viral smashes such as “Prune, You Talk Funny” and “I’m Just Snacking”, averaging around 1 million monthly Spotify listeners, and accompanied by videos which burst with style, charisma and a cinematic eye. He has also sold out shows worldwide and earned acclaim from the likes of NY Times, i-D, Vogue, The Fader and Pigeons & Planes.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
