Decision Feat. Robin Yzerman

Danceable and downtempo, electronic but organic, thoughtful yet irreverent…
Keldari Station is a synth duo based in Denver, CO comprised of Darren Douglas Danahy: Keyboards, Guitars, Voice, Programming/Sequencing and
Kelley Donovan: Samplers, Synthesizers, Signal Processing, Melodica, voice

Formed in 2012 originally as a live, all improvised instrumental project, Keldari Station prefer to make and perform their brand of electronic music by connecting together bits and bobs of analog and digital equipment, rather than exploring the depths of their personal computers and the mysteries buried there. 

Their debut EP, 2013's "Where in the Universe is Keldari Station" (released December 21, 2013) was recorded entirely live for Portugal's Dan Dada Records, and more than half of the songs on the release were written and recorded during the same week as the release.

Three of the songs from the EP, after some work and many live performances, made it onto their first studio album and CD "Brave New Worlds" (released April 25, 2015) which is where the band solidified their "Space Dub" sound which fused elements of dub reggae, psychedelia, electronic pop, and experimental music with lyrics that spoke of a change in consciousness that is either impending or already upon us, creating this "brave new world".

By the time the band had enough new material for an album at the beginning of 2016 (along with a reworking of something from the first EP) and were getting set to record, one of the bands biggest influences, the late David Bowie passed away, giving both members pause for a moment and reflection, and the decision to name the upcoming album "Say Goodbye to Ground Control" and to begin working it towards becoming a tribute to the artist. Since this point, the band has gone on to involve an outside source for the cover art (Chris Pendergraft, Torch Fire Labs) and more importantly, mixing and production assistance by Russ Sinfield (at the Chaos Cookhouse in the UK) who has in turn, began to involve other musicians outside of Keldari Station's two "core" members. 

First release from the album is the single "Lucky" which was released on an EP August 26, 2016. 

Their most recent  album "Say Goodbye to Ground Control" was released on Thanksgiving, 2016 and was a tribute to the life and music of David Bowie. 

After taking a short break for the first 3/4 of 2017 to work on other projects, the band returned to performing in November with new material and updated versions of their older songs. 
2018 has found the band rejuvenated and inspired, and they are writing and recording for their 3rd album, to be preceded by a single in May - "Granda Elektra Koro" as well as a small summer tour.  The new material expresses gratitude and love towards the band's fans, and each other, and is loosely being titled "the wedding album"  and roughly themed around our having landed somewhere, after a long journey.
