D.K. Lyons is back, bringing with him an incredible double album entitled ‘Sophomoric Rambling. The most refined we’ve heard the artist so far, he wraps up the roar of his energetic, bright and breezy, glimmering indie-pop sound across twenty tracks. The album feels current and rooted, with D.K. openly discussing some of the widespread issues that face society today, enclosed behind a façade of joyous glitter.
D.K. adds, "In an era where so much focus in music is on viral song snippets and following algorithmic trends, I feel so incredibly proud and rewarded by the process of creating such a deep and expansive project and the amazing feedback I've received on the songs and content that have been released to date. My ambitions are always so lofty and longwinded and this project, from the album to the videos to the short film, capture that and 100% represent me as an artist and what I stand for. SOPHOMORIC RAMBLING is an album about me and my life, but it's also about the universal human search for hope and deeper meaning in an increasingly superficial world.”
Now released alongside the new album, D.K. has released a short film, adding an emotional deep dive into the themes that the artist dives into across the project, moving through his emotions to find the light at the end of the tunnel.
