Listen :: Dirtwire

Dirtwire are the Californian Bay Area-based electro-acoustic duo of David Satori (Beats Antique) and Evan Fraser (Hamsa Lila, Stellamara). Hard to pigeonhole in the 'electro' category as one listen to their new EP, 'The Carrier', out today, will tell you.

Dirtwire’s self-described “back porch electro-cana” style incorporates elements of folk, electro, roots, Americana and with their use of rare and seldom heard (at least to Western ears) instruments such as the Turkish jimbush and the Zimbabwean mbira fused with more familiar elements such as the piano and slide guitar, they sound at one and the same time, both as if they hail from America's Deep South as much from an African tribal background.
