//BIO//
Dam Gila is the solo project from Chicago native and YAWN front man Adam Gil. In his first album, ‘So Long, Leisure’ he explores the glam and soul elements of songwriting. Inspired by ‘60s and ‘70s greats like The Mamas & The Papas, Harry Nilsson, Elton John, and T. Rex, he creates a lush and fuzzy dream world dense with melodic hooks and synaptic harmonies. The sound is thick and the arrangements are big, creating an atmosphere one would assume is a band of many. The sunny vibes fit well in summer or spring, which is odd considering he wrote and produced the album during a brutal winter in Chicago locked away in a basement. But the cozy bubble Dam Gila cocoons you in is not all fine and sweet – themes of disenchanted youth, dying love, and drug abuse are all present on ‘So Long, Leisure’.  If the vocals don’t kill you with melody, the searing guitar runs will; Dam explores his instrument of choice, letting it guide the way throughout most of the album.  He asserts himself as a musician of many sorts and proves his knack for songwriting, suggesting it is not only a fruitful hobby but also his therapy. The doors are wide open and the sky is high for this burgeoning project!
