# RISING – Dylan Ettinger
Blade Runner-blues Korg-king Dylan Ettinger just busted
out his Moog for the *Lion Of Judah* 7″ on Not Not Fun, which follows
his excellent loose 2010 trilogy with *Botany Bay*, *Smokin'* and *New
Age Outlaws*. As the title suggests, things are still in ultra-stoned
sounding mode: futurist vibes over slow detached vocals.
Dylan Ettinger started this current music project out of his bedroom in
Illinois when he was 17 years old. Influenced by bands like **Double
Leopards**, **Mouthus** and early Skaters tapes, his early recordings
had a similar, heavy psychedelic-noise sound. But over the years, his
music has become more song-oriented and less harsh and noisy. Today it's
flavored with retro-futuristic melancholy, occasionally dipping into
that classic crisp synth-pop sound derived from **Kraftwerk** or **The
Human League**.
He's still living in his basement in Bloomington, Indiana -- and it is
perhaps this very diametric opposition that gives his mental conjurings
such passion. Without a doubt he is one of today's finest crafters of
patient, layered sounds. His dark synth pieces have that faint hint of
anamorphic blues that lingered in the backdrop of the **LA Vampires**
and **Zola Jesus** collaboration.
Watch his clear-focused video for the title track *Lion Of Judah* and
listen to his smoked-out psyche-dub below:
