blissful yet devastating, overwhelming yet gentle, heavy yet soft

ST. FRANCIS (FKA DEARLY DEPARTURE)

“Inspired by the moodier fringes of LA's nocturnal underground as well as the dark gothic energy of certain fatalist new wave. Fronted and produced by Daniel Chavez Crook. “

DAYTON SWIM CLUB

Broadcasting on the lower frequencies of late-night Los Angeles, Dayton Swim Club creates a swirling, lyrical evocation of suburban American discontent through their immersive performances, recordings and videos — a midnight drive through the landscape of a world at once futuristic and downtrodden. An ensemble consisting of Nick Flessa, Mario Luna, Dominique Matelson, Jessica Perelman and members of St. Francis (Daniel Chavez Crook and Scarlett Perry), Dayton Swim Club emerged in late 2021 with a string of formidable live shows in support of their debut release on Perpetual Doom.
