MY TRANSGENDER DYSPHORIA WALTZ

‘My Transgender Dysphoria Waltz’ is the first single off the ALLDEEPENDS new album ‘NO SHALLOW ENDS’. The title is quite a self explanatory. ALLDEEPENDS have done to give a clear context to the layered references and illusions used to make up the lyrical content of the song. It is based on the conflicting feelings of publicly transitioning, both the freedom of expression and harsh responses are given attention.

From the opening line “An albatross around my neck to accessorize…” ‘My Transgender Dysphoria Waltz’ plays with the joy that comes from making your own authentic presentation of self, and the fact that by presenting yourself outside of an expected binary you make yourself visible to both those the support or oppose your actions.

Fawn explains “I have had many public bouts of direct hate and aggression towards me due to my transition, on busses and in bars. And while that is hurtful and dangerous, changing for their sake feels so much worse. Ultimately now knowing this about myself, I can’t go back. I feel happy despite the negativity.”

The choice to make it a waltz, played in 3/4 emulates the emotional swings that come with thinking about this subject and your place in the world.

The new ALLDEEPENDS album ‘NO SHALLOW ENDS’ is a clear marker of evolution and growth of the band as artists. The album tackles subjects more candidly and directly than ever before. Techniques from different styles of music are used to elevate the song’s subject and grant them greater context. From gender & sexuality, atherogenic apocalypse, transgressive joy and introspective loss, a clear voice and perspective are made in an incredibly dense release. This is your new favorite punk-folk-hiphop-neo-oldtime-jazz-powerviolence post-everything album!
