The opening track from StevieRay Latham’s upcoming EP, Letter From Suburbia, is a sprawling alt-rock n roll epic. ‘Dionysus Blues’ took just a couple of minutes longer than its actual runtime to write, and comes from a seemingly unlikely story: Latham’s interest in the Greek gods, Dionysus and Apollo. “Apollo is this God that seemed to represent a lot of Western society’s ideals to me – progress, logic, order and individuation,” he explains. “Then you’ve got Dionysus on the other hand, who represents intoxication, disorder, emotion, ecstasy and unity.” Musically, he allows his unique style of art-folk to be influenced by both the hazy strangeness of Neutral Milk Hotel and the warmth and melody of Neil Young.
