Dime Lifters

Dime Lifters, a new project from Toronto-based duo Andrew Matthews and Kyle Knapp (of the much-acclaimed Deliluh) are releasing their debut album, ‘Love Corrupted’ out today via Tin Angel Records. Laregly written during time spent stranded in the French Alps during the ‘storm of 100 years’, Dime Lifters’ album is full of dronelike textures and urgent spoken word. 

While previous projects of Knapp and Matthews have felt as if one is frozen in fear, Dime Lifters is more sun-soaked and swept out to sea. Their live performance emphasizes the winking ego of the two, in the form of scrappy karaoke, blown out guitars, and noir sax lines. They strive to portray a heart on their sleeve charisma, and the result can be both soul-stirring and endearingly pathetic. At their most effective, they remind us of the fool’s courage required in the endless search for love and raison d’être.
