Dw Dunphy Records Cover Version of Sundown

Red Bank, NJ, June 27, 2012 --(PR.com)-- When asked why he covered Gordon Lightfoot’s unforgettable classic “Sundown,” Dunphy said, “It was always one of those songs that has been with me. When I was a kid my Uncle Wayne enjoyed it a lot, so that must have left an impression on me.”

Dunphy’s process for reinterpreting Lightfoot’s track was described, in characteristically self-deprecating fashion, as: “A one-take, just me and the guitar, no messing around. You can definitely tell at points I was half-awake when I sang it. And then, because I can’t leave well enough alone, I went nuts overdubbing myself all over it.”

The track can be heard as part of Popdose.com’s ongoing series C.Y.A.

Acoustic singer-songwriter. Indie-rock noise-maker. Painter of synth-soaked soundscapes. New Jersey-based musician Dw. Dunphy has worn each of these masks and “Reliquary,” out June 18 on Introverse Music/Secret Decoder Records, collects the best of his creative output from the past 15 years – and throws a few unreleased demos into the mix for good measure.

The record is available for download now at http://dwdunphy.com and will be distributed through www.dwdunphy.com, iTunes, Amazon, CDBaby and local retailers.

About Dw. Dunphy: Born and raised in the suburbs of central New Jersey, Dunphy began writing for fanzines in the mid-1990s before being bitten by the cassette-only bug. His early recordings called to mind the sound then being popularized by bands like Smog, Palace and Calexico but his later recordings resembled more tightly formed verse/chorus/verse pop, with full band backing – and sometimes orchestration – all created inside his desktop computer. When not recording music, Dunphy writes about it as a critic for PopDose and a freelancer for AOL’s Patch.com.
