CMU Approved
Approved: Dakota
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 11 January 2017
Dakota released their second EP, ‘Leda’, late last year. Now it gets a new push with the upcoming UK release of lead single ‘Icon’. It’s the perfect introduction to the Dakota sound – a warm mix of dream pop, garage rock and psychedelia that slowly cocoons you.
While ‘Icon’ is certainly the stand out track on ‘Leda’, the EP also contains five more well-crafted songs that exceed expectations of a band so close to the beginning of their career. If they can keep this up, they could have an impressive future ahead of them.
