Vinyl LP pressing including digital download. Veteran musicians Aslyn and Kalen Nash were well into their own solo careers prior to meeting and falling in love. Aslyn had notched two records while also landing a spot as touring keyboardist and backup singer for Kesha. Kalen, singer-guitarist for Athens, GA, indie/roots-rockers Ponderosa, eventually saw his band signed to New West Records, for whom he recorded the critically acclaimed Midnight Revival with legendary producer Joe Chiccarelli (The Strokes, Real Estate, Cherry Glazerr). The husband-and-wife team met around 2008 and married in 2011, but were so busy with their own projects they hadn't really considered making music together. So, they formed Dega a place where they could shed any preconceived notions about their past work (Kalens charmingly melancholic Southern indie rock, and Aslyns infectious blend of folk & piano pop) and explore new soundsin particular, anthemic, synth-anchored indie pop. The combination of their two talents is truly a beautiful marriage of styles.
