As a Guitarist and Singer-Songwriter, Dustin Silva is a rare combination of technical virtuosity and raw, emotional intensity. His songs have been described as a sonic cross between Elliott Smith, Jeff Buckley, Nick Drake and Radiohead. Heavy themes make up the songs. His unique perspective is informed by a chronic struggle with illness (diabetes, depression, OCD) and his mothers 20 year struggle with Multiple Sclerosis. His music is both cathartic and personal with lyrics that use evocative imagery to interrogate the nature of suffering and the journey back into health. His long anticipated, debut solo EP was fully released in Sept, 2023. He has released 2 full band singles, Dec/Jan 2024. Both feature the beautiful harmonies of Holly Sheehy and the brilliant drumming of Elizabeth Goodfellow, drummer for Iron & Wine, boygenius and Calexico. Dustin lives in Portland, OR.

Melancholy music always means the most to me. Thank you.

[@grumbles2010]

If someone said something was existential melachonic folk id say oh yea of course... What does that mean, makes sense when I listen.

[@grumbles2010]

Your music always gives me split feelings. Content in the way the vibes hit in the moment while also pulling me forward needing to know what comes next.

In this track, Images and song are knitted together in a craft that is deep and immersive, like a homemade cardigan. Timeless storytelling with a contemporary feel.
