DMVU - Two Pairs of Eyes, Gazing Only at Each Other (2XLP)

Mathew Jones, aka DMVU, is etching an indelible mark into the future of bass music. DMVU's meticulous sound design has quickly gained the attention of a global audience. His songs don't just evolve along melodic arcs, they drip with evocative and narrative environments that lead the listener along a path that is exciting and new, yet familiar and contemplative. There is a maturity about DMVU's tonal palettes that is typically reserved for the likes of Hans Zimmer and other elite cinema composers. The Denver, Colorado native has signed to Dome of Doom Records for the release of the new full-length album Two Pairs of Eyes, Gazing Only At Each Other.

Mostly known for his work in the dubstep arena, Two Pairs of Eyes, Gazing Only At Each Other is a departure from past works, presenting some of his most expressive and visionary work to date. Hovering in the realm of experimental electronic music and modern film scores, rather than hard dance floor anthems, every track is a journey into itself and one that connects to DMVU's origins as a recording artist. DMVU expands, "The majority of music I have released has been dance floor centered. Sound design and over the top rhythmic patterns. This album I decided to take a step back from all of that. Tried to keep it all much simpler. It's not something I thought of right away, but a lot of my friends who I have sent the album to have pointed out that it sounds like music I made when I first started nine years ago." Past experiences take on the core principles and meaning behind the album, with life presenting hurdle after hurdle during the three-year stretch it was made. A long-term relationship dissolving, nearly losing a house, and the passing of his mother are just a few things that deeply affected the making of this album.
