Tel Aviv-born queer pop multi-instrumentalist and producer DOV (née Dov Eagle) moved to NYC after serving in the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) until age 21. DOV’s music encapsulates his experience as an LGBTQ immigrant searching for love and acceptance and eventually finding it in himself. His unique production style has been described by Line of Best Fit as “music that glistens with contrasting textures” and by Clash as “striking, deeply original work, at once pop but also deeply alien.”

DOV is now sharing Mind High,  his first release of 2020 and the first single from his upcoming EP It Feels Right, due on July 24.

Mind High was created with DOV's good friend and frequent collaborator, fellow Israeli vocalist and queer artist Tesha. With an underlying snarling Korg bassline, the track glides through R'n'B melodies, jangling percussion and menacing guitar plucks, while Tesha's auto-tuned vocals sound both uncanny and alien.

DOV shares, "I was thinking about my everyday inner battles; against my demands, stress, and anxieties. With substances I could roam free in my deepest thoughts, open to what may come, and what needs to go. A mind high slows down time and quiets the noise. It provides a stage for your words and your emotions, as weird as they may be, and helps them find a space for expression."
