DFA proudly presents Canyons, the Australian duo of Leo Holiday and Ryan Sea-mist. Drawing influences from the far corners of planet Earth and beyond, from Down Under to Over-the-Top, Canyons strike a balance between sand dunes and icebergs, psych and acid house, volcanos and valleys, pop and disco, existing somewhere between Nic Roeg's Walkabout and Mel Gibson's Apocalypto. Not ones to claim genres or adhere to them, the Canyons approach to writing music consists of intuition and feel. Dancing is encouraged, but quiet listening works just as well.

Canyons have also established their own label, Hole in the Sky, simply to put out music they believe should be heard. Thus far, that means not only their own tracks, but those of mates like Tame Impala, the Delicate Genius, Pink Gin, and Runaway's Jacques Renault. Canyons' debut album is in the making and will be released on Modular Recordings. A full live Canyons experience is also on the horizon for 2010.
