![David’s Lyre – Hidden Ground [D/R/U/G/S Remix]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3790116_lg.jpg)
‘Hidden Ground’ is an achingly beautiful single, understated and yet daring in its approach. Paul’s unique voice floats over the top of his folk arrangements and dubstep rhythms. It’s a unique position, taking some of the best elements of original British music over the years and distilling it into a musical world all of his own. A real step forward, ‘Hidden Ground’ offers a snapshot of what the David’s Lyre debut album will sound like, and is a compelling statement moving forward. Having previously toured the UK with Chapel Club and remixed the likes of Marina And The [...]

HIYA // Paul Dixon aka David's Lyre David's Lyre is a project I've always been impressed by and enjoyed, with all it's vague mystery. But not mystery in that annoyingly contrived, inaccessible, or aloof kind of way; just in a quietly-going-about-business, but-listen-here kind of way. Now Paul Dixon 's discreet labour has come to fruition, with the debut album for David's Lyre due for release on the 24th of October. It's called Hidden Ground , which is also the title of it's lead single. I've been [...]

D/R/U/G/S have remixed the beautiful 'Hidden Ground' by David's Lyre, transforming it into a beat driven track, rather than a piano driven one. Minus the blips, there isn't a great deal of complexity to this remix, but that's definitely not a bad thing.
A warm dark place is at the heart of David's Lyre . Building upon a stellar voice and accentuated with a smattering of industrial sounds and effects is a beautiful piece of dark pop. David Lyre - Hidden Ground Website

Los días corren rápidos y una vez más hemos dejado atrás el odioso lunes para acercarnos más a un nuevo fin de semana. Sin embargo, todavía no estamos ahí, sino a la mitad, en el día elegido por los dioses de este blog para presentarles una banda nueva con la cual endulzarles los oídos en esta sección llamada Under . Así, sin más, vamos a viajar hasta Inglaterra para conocer el proyecto solista del multi-instrumentista y admirador de las mascaras Paul Dixon, músico responsable de este proyecto/banda/algo llamado David's Lyre . Poco se conoce de la [...]
Islington, 23 May 2011 : The first thing to clarify here is that David's Lyre is the musical project of multi-instrumentalist Paul Dixon; thus, he's not called David, nor is anyone in the band called David (as far as I know). So my only expectation for this show at The Lexington - that I would be watching a bloke called David 'do some stuff' - was not met. Luckily, however, the music more than made up for the mysterious name-related dilemma that occurred. Having garnered previous support from the NME, The Fly and The Guardian, David's [...]
Now although this name may not ring any bells in the world of electronic music, Jack Steadman has already made a name for himself as the lead singer of the band Bombay Bicycle Club. However, almost like following in the steps of other indie band members such as Jamie xx, Jack Steadman has decided to try his hand in producing his own music, and the results? Sublime crisp producing with songs like 'Travelling Song' playing close attention to incredible, catchy vocals. It seems this combination of the mind of an indie band singer and electronic music creates one above the [...]
Boy am I glad he’s past his mask phase. It was creepy, and it just accentuated the nose. Paul Dixon, the Manchester based 20-year old is moving on, in image and sound. Named after the biblical mystique surrounding the instrument that soothed King Saul’s anxieties, David’s Lyre might not be able to drive demons away, [...]
This is our favourite new band. If you've never come across this East London trio then we imagine they'll become your favourite new band too in a few minutes time. You have been warned. So delightfully irresistible an d jammed with gorgeous merriment is their music that we dare you not to be dancing around your living room with a broad smile. This is what we need in music, and it doesn't happen nearly often enough. With Real Fur you get all sorts of influences cleverly congregating like a like a flock of well-trained pigeons ready to shit on [...]

Week starting February 21: Yuck – Yuck ( Mercury Records ) Yuck - The Wall Meilir – Cellar Songs EP (Self-released link to Spiller’s) Frankie & the Heartstrings – Hunger ( Pop Sex Ltd/Wichita ) Toro Y Moi [...]
The accredited mask of David Lyre receives the remix treatment from Pearson Sound. Taking Lyre's low register vocals and rewinding them into mesmerising loops makes for a sound intro, only to be followed by sparse tribal undertones and the higher octaves of Lyre's harping vocals. Analogue snares and deep summer chord oppressions run through the melody, making this a nice precursor of better weather to follow. David's Lyre - In Arms (Pearson Sound Remix) This new guy needs to be locally globalised. It's nothing particularly new, but when done well, the ever [...]
Chapel Club - Eastern Girls (David's Lyre Remix)
I'm loving the new David's Lyre song In Arms: it's a lustrous ballad-like number with an eye-rolling, sipping-cocktails-on-the-lilo- while-admiring-my-tan quality. This despite needy-sounding verses and even more urgent keys, and perhaps I took much cough medicine before earlier. In Arms by David's Lyre There's a free, and funked-up/tranced-dowm, remix by Bombay Bicycle Club, too: David's Lyre - In Arms (Bombay Bicycle Club remix) ( mp3 )
I've previously waxed lyrical about the lead single off the forthcoming EP from Paul Dixon aka David's Lyre , entitled 'In Arms'. Now I can rave about the EP since just this week I was kindly given a sneak listen to the lush, beautifully arrangements, full of romance and a lovely depth not only in instrumentation; but of emotion and influences. Anyway, this post isn't about the EP, despite how gorgeous I think it is. New single 'In Arms' is being given proper accompaniment, with an otherworldy video and an excellent remix [...]
