IAMDYNAMITE
May 14, 2015
"In The Summer" is the new single from the spirited, anthemic duo of Christopher Martin and Chris Phillips known as IAMDYNAMITE. Their forthcoming album, Wasa Tusa, is due out July 24th. The sophomore record shows the creative reach IAMDYNAMITE has always possessed. The album highlights their melodic, hook laden songwriting skills and delivers on all emotional fronts.
Wasa Tusa was recorded at Orb Studio in Austin, TX and finished back home in Michigan. Produced by Matt Noveskey, as well as IAMDYNAMITE, this time around the band has pushed themselves as writers, producers, and performers.
When asked the difference between SUPERMEGAFANTASTIC and Wasa Tusa, Chris Martin commented, "Our first record was more of a documentation of our live show. This is our first record where the ultimate goal was to make cool and moving recordings, where the recording was the art form, not just a documentation of some songs. Our goal was to make recordings that make you feel something."
Chris Phillips added, "We took a no holds barred approach when recording this album. We needed to make a great album first and foremost. Our first album was written specifically for just drums and guitar, and to fully grab the attention of the listener and make them move. Wasa Tusa is just the next step for us as a band, it's not just drums and guitar.... it's so much more!"
Chris and Chris were two Michigan high school friends raised on the Seattle sound and 80s pop. Following live success, a name-change, and the release of two critically acclaimed music videos, the duo began recording their debut full-length album in the fall of 2010 at Willie Nelson's legendary Pedernales Studio outside of Austin. SUPERMEGAFANTASTIC was released in 2012
