Darian Donovan Thomas (he/him), the composer, multi-instrumentalist, and interdisciplinary artist lauded for his “bright, fresh and, in the best sense, innocent” musical approach by Steve Reich, and whose music is “a loud, sometimes overwhelming, yet always vivid, wash of harmony” (Vanessa Ague), announces his debut album A Room With Many Doors (August 2, 2024), a collection of songs that morph between hyper pop, noise, and ambient palettes, via New Amsterdam Records.
Alongside the announcement, Darian releases ‘Volver Volver’ — a textural, synth drenched, and ambient reimagining of the classic Mexican ranchera song by Fernando Maldonado. ‘Volver Volver’ features a yearning trombone solo by the Grammy Award Winning Kalia Vandever which was inspired by the prompt “think of the person that you’ve loved the most that you’ve lost and imagine that you’re calling to them.”
A Room With Many Doors is a dizzying, kaleidoscopic, and epic narrative journey of self discovery that meets the listener at the end of a series of “experiments in heartbreak”. The songs on ARWMD explore questions of introspection (“what do we want to return to? Do we want to return to one person in particular, or do we want to return to an older version of self? A more stable self?”) from multiple angles. Darians virtuosic sense of scale and texture, as well as his lyrical vulnerability make ARWMD a record that invites multiple listens and explorations. He is joined by an impressive cast of collaborators including: Alfredo Colón, Ben Chapoteau-Katz, Kalia Vandever, Taja Cheek (L’Rain), and Phong Tran.
