Feelings assume form in melodies, harmonies, and lyrics. DWLLRS render raw emotions, formative experiences, and late-night conversations about life, existence, and love as layered and lush alternative pop. The California duo—Bren Eisman and Joey Spurgeon—smooth down a shared penchant for overthinking into ponderous, potent, and powerful anthems. It’s the culmination of these feelings and their life experiences that make up their debut album, Cameraman. “Joey and I overthink everything,” Bren admits. “It’s a large theme of our art. We’re trying to discover a hopeful belief system and worldview through the songs.” Joey elaborates, “We’re two best friends existing in this dualistic reality of heartbreak, loss, death, and love as well as all of the inconsistencies and consistencies of life. We’re trying to find help; we’re trying to inspire love. We’re going to write sad songs to reference life’s dire moments, but our pursuit is to create beauty from the chaos.”
