DAXMA (pronounced [dahk-muh]) is an Oakland, CA based post-rock/doom metal band that began in Santa Cruz, CA in 2014. A collaborative project made up of members - Jessica (vocals, guitar, violin), Kelly (vocals, bass), Isaac (vocals, guitar), Forrest (guitar), and Thomas (drums) - sharing a varied musical background, including black metal, psych, and classical. DAXMA unites nuance and fragility within a framework of devastating crush that imbues significance to each motif and passage.
Arriving on July 26th from Blues Funeral Recordings, 'RUINS UPON RUINS' is the third release from DAXMA. The EP brings nearly twenty-five minutes of neural captivation engulfing the emotional borders of the past and present, conjoining the personal and inspirational sides within DAXMA to highlight the art of critical thought.
'Ruins Upon Ruins' Tracklist:
01. Minima Moralia
02. Landslide
“Minima Moralia” is a meditation of ideological vision, and even as it comports with genre in its progressive and weighted aspects, it looks outside musical confines for direction and inspiration. It says much during its run without the use of lyrics.
It comes accompanied by a cover of the 1975 Fleetwood Mac single “Landslide,” made iconic through the heartfelt vocal performance of Stevie Nicks. A song that remains recognizable for its melody and folkish lyric in DAXMA’s hands, but is given a new breadth of instrumental arrangement and depth as the band makes it their own.
It’s on odd pairing on paper, admittedly, but DAXMA leave little doubt that it's part of their intention. Just as “Minima Moralia” seems to be a space of intellectual engagement, “Landslide” becomes an emotional contemplation, with a deeply personal origin on the part of the band itself.
'Ruins Upon Ruins' will be released for digital download and streaming, as well as physical format in a limited edition 12" vinyl pressing on July 26th through Blues Funeral Recordings.
