Dais

Dais Records is an independent American record label founded by Gibby Miller and Ryan Martin in 2007. Based in Los Angeles, California and New York, New York, Dais Records operates as a genre-agnostic label with a focus on experimental and avant-garde music. The label represents both emerging and established active artists while also curating rare and out of print material for reissue projects. Dais Records exclusively distributes its releases through Secretly Distribution.

SRSQ (pronounced seer-skew) is the solo project of Kennedy Ashlyn, a talented vocalist and keyboardist known for her work with Them Are Us Too. With a hauntingly beautiful sound, SRSQ captivates listeners with her ethereal vocals and atmospheric synth melodies.
Influenced by artists such as Body of Light, Zanias, and Drab Majesty, SRSQ creates music that seamlessly blends elements of darkwave, post-punk, and dream pop. Her captivating performances have earned her a dedicated following within the underground music scene.
Known for her introspective lyrics and emotive delivery, SRSQ's music delves into themes of loss, longing, and self-discovery. Her unique blend of melancholic melodies and hypnotic rhythms create an immersive sonic experience that leaves a lasting impression on listeners.

Ever Crashing, the second LP by Kennedy Ashlyn aka SRSQ is the summation of a nearly three-year journey of soul searching, songwriting, and self-discovery. Every song hits like a single, heaving with guitar, synth, strings, live drums, and oceans of Ashlyn’s astounding voice, balletic and illuminated. The tracks gleam with detail, often assembled from as many as 100 separate tracks, all of which were written and played solely by Ashlyn – a feat of world-building as daunting as it is devastating.

From swooning end credits balladry (“Dead Loss”) to orchestral slow-burn torch songs (“Abyss”) to dizzying shoegaze heavens (“Someday I Will Bask In The Sun”), the album exudes a sense of aching grandeur and bewildered joy, rich with triumphs hard won and lost loves never forgotten. Melodies pirouette and crescendo in dazzling, elevated acrobatics, somewhere between Kate Bush and The Sundays, threaded with ethereal undercurrents of shimmering shadow. Riffs brood and sparkle over crystalline synths, buoyant bass, and patient percussion, steadily building to holy moments of tidal power, finessed to perfection by producer Chris Coady (Beach House, Slowdive, Zola Jesus). Ashlyn’s is a dream-pop of questing catharsis, vulnerable but orchestral, as dense with hooks as heartbreak.

For fans of Cocteau Twins, Them Are Us Too, This Mortal Coil, Kate Bush, The Sundays, Zola Jesus, Drab Majesty, Slowdive, Lush, Beach House
