Prepare to ride the wave, because Dan E.T. is making a splash with the release of his brand-new music video for “High Tide,” featuring reggae rock heavyweights, Passafire.
OUT NOW– this audiovisual journey is more than just a collaboration—it’s a profound exploration of modernity’s noise, distractions, and our collective craving for freedom of the mind.
Dan E.T., known for his trumpet skills with bands like Badfish, Fayuca, and Grieves, steps into the spotlight with a sound that is equal parts proggy and psychedelic. “High Tide” brings his fearless creativity front and center, enhanced by Ted Bowne of Passafire’s introspective and conscious lyrics.
Together, they’ve crafted one hell of an anthem that speaks to anyone longing to cut through the chaos and reclaim clarity.
The track tackles themes of propaganda overload, technological overwhelm, and the persistent search for personal humanity. Dan E.T. explains,
“I’ve been writing this song ever since a cellphone was forced into my life… With all this information at our fingertips, why are we still at odds, still trapped in cycles of corruption and war? If we can’t find the truth, can we at least find our own freedom—true freedom, in our minds?”
The video, brought to life by the trippy genius of creator FACEMELTER, is a feast for the senses. Surreal imagery and kaleidoscopic visuals transport viewers to a world beyond the static of daily life. Produced by Foggy Rhodes Studios and filmed at 1 Take Studios, it’s a masterful pairing of music and art. Bassist Corey Groove (The Veragroove, Through the Roots) and drummer Gerhardt Koelsh round out the performance, while producer Matt Keller (Katastro, aurorawave, Artikal Sound System) ties it all together with expert finesse.
Dan E.T. calls the collaboration a dream come true.
“It’s been such a dream to work with Passafire. Ted really deepened the truth of the song and FACEMELTER took the visuals to another dimension. It feels like we broke through The Matrix together—or at least lifted the veil for a few minutes.”
As if the single and video weren’t enough to get excited about, Dan E.T. is hitting the road! Fans can catch him on tour now with Badfish and Kash’d Out, with dates stretching coast-to-coast. Find all the details at www.Dan-ET.com.
