I checked out this new pop release from Dylan Galvin, a cool mix of funk guitar and melodic vocals.
Building on the success of his two EPs and inspired by his time at Berklee College of Music, where the legendary Paul Simon handpicked him out of a crowd of his peers, Dylan Galvin’s relentless dedication to authentic storytelling and lyrics is what resonates with listeners.
He also contributed to the score, sound design and voice overs of the recent documentary that chronicles the tension between church and government “The Essential Church”, which peaked at the #1 spot in “documentaries” in the Apple TV store. According to The Daily Vault, “Whether exuberant or philosophical…Dylan Galvin delivers music from the heart.” Dylan Galvin is an artist known for his dynamic musicianship, blending the cinematic with the lyrical. Dylan is obsessively committed to lyrics and story, believing that at the core of every song is a story and what that story is about means more than anything else in the song.
He has been featured in PASTE Magazine, Voyage LA and Kings of A&R and has toured the US from coast to coast playing for the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium, the LA Rams and celebs like Dylan McDermott and Fabio in Los Angeles, CA.
Dylan Galvin is releasing a 1980s-style George Michaels meets John Mayer synth-pop single provides a commentary on the love-hate relationship many have with pop music, offering satirical instructions that takes a playful jab at the mainstream music industry’s tendencies on Jan 19. In conjunction with the single’s release, Dylan Galvin is releasing a visually beautiful, nostalgic and ridiculous music video that complements the song’s satire, and channels inspiration equal parts “Matilda”, “The Muppets” and 80’s Pop-Rock music videos.
Viewers will find it amusing, weird and familiar as they sit in a classroom and learn alongside a blue cat named Munch during “How to Write a Pop Song.”
