Dapperton's love of building soundscapes has deep roots. Born in Warwick, New York, he didn't grow up in a traditionally musical family, but the radio was on nonstop. However, he never thought of becoming a musician himself. It wasn't until college that he began learning to play instruments and sing, beyond tinkering with songs on his computer. Gus Dapperton has always been obsessed with creating new worlds. On "Henge," Dapperton focuses on the intricacies of melodies and lyrics, and through his haunting songwriting manages to conjure a world of twilight that constantly hovers between sunset and sunrise throughout the 11 shifting songs. While his new album, "Henge," feels as ambitious as it is diverse, Dapperton's music nonetheless retains the intimacy that made his earlier works so haunting and special. Live, Dapperton demonstrates an unparalleled stage presence that almost magically captivates audiences.
