Emerging from Fort Collins, Colorado, Skydyed is a three-piece band that blends cutting edge electronic production with live instrumentation. Featuring Andrew Slattery on bass synths and bass guitar, Max Doucette on guitar and keys, and Shane Eagen on drums, the band integrates generations of the state’s extensive musical heritage with their own deep-seated ties to the electronic music scene.
Skydyed continues to push the boundaries of “live electronic” music, and their new release, “Flicker Switch,” showcases the band’s mature sound. Sam Brouse of Papadosio not only co-produced the new song, but his piano and synth work can be heard coloring the track. With Skydyed’s tight musicianship and Brouse’s accompaniment, “Flicker Switch” is truly a vibrant piece of work.

As this year is winding down, Skydyed offered up some thoughts on their growth in 2016 and what to expect in 2017. “2016 has been a very transformative year for us as a band, to say the least. With the release of our first full-length album in the spring, 12 festival performances all over the country this summer, and shows in a ton of places we’ve never been before, it’s really been our biggest year yet. We feel we are beginning to come into our own unique sound, and our live performances have never felt more locked in. Through all of these new experiences we’ve begun to get to know ourselves a bit better, as musicians and as people. There’s just something about spending countless hours in a cramped van together that creates a powerful bond, on stage and off.”
Skydyed’s new EPÂ Modulate, featuring “Flicker Switch” and more, is due out on December 9th. The band will be on the road in Colorado throughout early December. Check out their tour dates below, and be sure to keep up with them on Facebook, SoundCloud, and Spotify!
