L.A. trio Derde Verde emerged from a three-year slumber last fall with the cinematic single “Days of Drought,” and since then have hooked up with the European label Kursaal (a division of Redfield Records) and continued their flow of painterly psychedelia with two more singles. The latest, “Turn,” came out this month, a twinkling, slow-building soundscape seemingly built with gentle hands that eventually issues its plea (ultimatum?) “don’t make me turn” over a delicious wall of sound. Of the song, singer-guitarist Dylan McKenzie says: “I am interested in the movement of a river, something that in some ways seems constant and permanent, but is also never the same: flowing and changing, contradicting itself by twisting and redefining itself. ‘Turn’ is a song about facing the currents of thought and feeling within us that are at times at odds with one another, while keeping sight of who we are.” Derde Verde — McKenzie along with Jon Schwarz and Matthias Wagner — have more new music on the way this fall.
