DM Stith - Staying Awake

At the end of 2018, my little label released three new songs from DM Stith. They were the first new songs to come from him since his 2016 full-length Pigeonheart. Today, I am happy to report that the first of three additional singles is available to the world. "Staying Awake" is available everywhere now - Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music, Google Play, et al.

Here's some insight on the track direct from DM Stith:

A thesis statement for a new phase of recordings. Written after the end of Sufjan's Age of Adz tour (I toured in his band and opened the shows with my own solo set), worked and reworked for the last 5 years, and finished, finally, with the help of Ben Hillier (rhythm and programming), Paul Wianko (string arrangement), Grey McMurray (guitar) and Shahzad Ismaily (mixing). The song was completed this spring on the Isle of Portland in Dorset where I'd parked myself for a couple weeks of solitude, sea sounds and sporadic torrents of icy hail.

It's a fantastic piece of work that gets more rewarding on each listen. I really can't gush enough about this (and the following two songs over the next month). Give it a listen, save it on your favorite streamer and, by all means, tell a friend.
