0

Emerging from the intersection of California and Texas, the indie rock sensation tinvis returns with their latest single “Echo,” a preview of their debut album, Texnia, set for release this summer on Mama Mañana Records. “Echo” reflects the feeling of straddling two places at once but feeling like a stranger in both.

Drawing on his experiences in the Davis/Sacramento music scene, tinvis founder Joel Daniel weaves a sonic tale in Texnia influenced by the local grant provided by the City of Davis and the Arts and Cultural Affairs Fund. This grassroots initiative has injected significant funds into the local arts landscape, nurturing a thriving community of artists in the face of industry changes driven by algorithms and dwindling live venues.

Collaborating with esteemed artists like producer Max Hart, lead guitarist Luke Reynolds, and drummer Eric Gardner, Daniel crafted a record that took shape in Austin, Texas, under the guidance of engineer Britton Beisenherz. The resulting music blends confessional storytelling reminiscent of Bob Dylan with the emotional depth of Wild Pink and Radiohead, paying homage to modern indie-folk acts like Phoebe Bridgers and Flock of Dimes.

“Echo” offers a taste of Texnia, enveloping listeners in a reflective mood highlighted by intricate guitar work and ethereal production. The song captures the disorienting feeling of continual motion, the space where memories and yearnings collide. Daniel’s vocals carry a raw, weary beauty, reflecting the sentiment of a wanderer uncertain of their true home. The honesty and craftsmanship in his lyrics echo those of esteemed singer-songwriters.

Texnia celebrates the resilience of independent artists, started with a $5K grant and evolving into the Davis Independent Music Initiative, providing support to fellow artists and fostering creativity. In an industry marked by fragmentation, Daniel’s advocacy through his music transcends mere entertainment, aiming for a space where artists thrive on their own terms.

With “Echo” available for streaming, tinvis invites audiences to embark on the journey of their debut album. Texnia is a testament to movement, memory, and the ghosts of the past, promising a record that resonates with its listeners. As tinvis sets the stage for their album release, it’s evident that this is just the beginning of an exciting musical journey.
