An Illinois native, Gardner brings a love of glorious, mind-expanding songcraft and recording techniques to his kaleidoscopic compositions and arrangements. Influenced by the cream of both classic and contemporary psych, Communicant evolves the timeless dynamic established by legendary bands such as July, The Creation and The Beatles as well as the exciting, 21st-century sounds of Ty Segall, Tame Impala and MGMT.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4514\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4514\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4514 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/COMMUNICANT-2-1024x739.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"462\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/COMMUNICANT-2-1024x739.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/COMMUNICANT-2-300x217.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/COMMUNICANT-2-768x554.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/COMMUNICANT-2-1536x1109.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/COMMUNICANT-2.jpg 1640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4514\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dylan Gardner contemplates retaking Troy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Along with his brother Mark Gardner (drums), Jeff Frantom (guitar) and Okudaxij (bass), Communicant spread their wings in mid-2019 and released their debut EP, Memory Palace, in early 2020. Featuring their Sean Lennon-approved reimagining of his song \u201cParachute\u201d, the EP is a bite-sized swirling listening experience with the feel of a full-length album. Dusty drums meet with Syd Barrett-esque slide guitar and cascading mellotrons on songs like the energetic \u201cFeeling Better?\u201d and lysergic anthem \u201cSleepwalker\u201d. Now, Communicant have teamed up with Los Angeles-based label Hypnotic Bridge to introduce their first vinyl 45 single with their double A-side \u201cShe Moves the Sky\u201d and \u201cPrisoner Cloud\u201d. Their debut album is scheduled for release in early 2021.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-4515\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Album-Seller-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Album-Seller-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Album-Seller-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Album-Seller-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Album-Seller.jpg 1366w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8216;She Moves The Sky b\/w Prisoner Cloud is available now on Hypnotic Bridge Records.
