Stage name of Dayve Hawk. Previously released material as Weird Tapes and Memory Cassette (mentioned in the review). Debut album Seek Magic (2009). The DeBaser review notes use of Ableton Live on an iMac, guitars, pedal boards, and synthesizers; it also reports personal details mentioned in the review (lived in the in-laws' laundry room, worked at a grocery store, has a daughter).

DeBaser's available review paints Seek Magic as a synth-driven, nostalgic electronic-pop record rooted in one mind. The writing emphasizes memory, cinematic moods, and surprising danceability. The reviewer links the sound to coastal and countryside evocations and to various synth-pop references. Overall the review is appreciative and descriptive.

For:Fans of synth-driven indie electronic music, chillwave and nostalgic synth-pop.

 The overall feeling one gets from listening to "Seek Magic" is that of finding oneself in a Vitruvian position, rolling between someone else's memories and sensations.
