New Single Haunted Ground out on July 25th
Heavy Capt. is the lyrical project of composer and multi-instrumentalist Dylan Deimler. Previously part of the freak-folk duo, Orca Orchestra, he also wrote and performed as the country-tinged alt-ego Milton Haysbury, with both projects touring the US. He eponymously released two instrumental works: Atmospheric Garland, a spacey mix of guitars and synths and an EP grounded in the fictional filmic American West, OK Corral. He was the cofounder of the Philly-based LP/cassette label, Magic Death Sounds.
Joined by Nashville percussionist Dominic Billett (Echolalia) and vocalists Megan Gouda (Bodyguard) and Devon Deimler on select tracks, Places, Strange & Wrong is otherwise entirely produced and performed by Deimler, utilizing the same Korg Workstation with which he recorded 2006 Baltimore breakout albums by Ecstatic Sunshine (Freckle Wars) and Ponytail (Kamehameha).
This release follows Ride the ____ , a Bandcamp only release of home recordings made while undergoing chemotherapy. Injections of the heavy metal platinum and the sense of captaining a body that had become a sinking ship—along with cryptic graffiti on his father’s old copy of Highway 61—birthed the name Heavy Capt.
Heavy Capt. presents voyages through layered worlds and returns to life. New single, Haunted Ground, out on July 25th.
