DASH HAMMERSTEIN builds Noise Machine ahead of February’s debut album release

NEW York indie-folk songwriter and composer DASH HAMMERSTEIN further teases next month’s self-titled debut album with latest release ‘Noise Machine.’

“It’s a simple song inspired by my reliance on the ‘cabin downpour’ setting on my white noise app,” he said. “Sometimes when it is raining outside, I will close the window and play the fake rain sound to fall asleep. The woodwinds – arranged and performed by Michael Sachs – are inspired by White Album-era McCartney and old musical hall records, lending a goofy air to what is a pretty goofy sentiment, opting for the artificial over the real.”

 Speaking of his new album, Hammerstein added, “No more word salad psychedelia – each song is about something specific and meaningful, be it death, uncertainty, old friends or new biotech. With sobriety, my songwriting hours shifted from the night to the morning and much of what is on the album was written very quickly over coffee – a lot of first thought/best thought material. 

“There are some wonderful guest contributions on there as well – Michael Sachs plays woodwinds and brass, Jordi Nus plays strings and Alden Harris-McCoy plays some guest guitar. Everything recorded and mixed by me in a few studios around Brooklyn.”
