Way Dynamic at Phoenix Central Park

Way Dynamic is the solo project for singer, songwriter, multi instrumentalist and producer Dylan Young. In August, Spoilsport Records released Massive Shoe, Way Dynamic’s third album since 2022, continuing Young’s exploration into minimalist folk-pop, baroque pop and art rock.

Yellow Green Red described Way Dynamic as “Brian Wilson’s lust for pop perfection brought back to earth by Randy Newman’s silliness and Christopher Cross’s knack for an original melody that already feels familiar”. Although Way Dynamic can draw parallels to many seventies artists, Young’s music never falls into songwriting tropes of that era, instead he manages to sidestep any typical motif, keeping the album engaging and lighthearted, and maintaining a sense of adventure in his music.

Massive Shoe has grown Way Dynamic’s audience exponentially. Along the way he’s picked up admirers like MJ Lenderman, Whitney, Everything But The Girl’s Ben Watt, Tom Misch, Waxahatchee’s Katie Crutchfield who took them on tour and in her Substack called Miffed It “my favourite song in a VERY long time”, and John Mayer and Elton John who have both raved about the album on their radio shows.

Tickets are free, available via ballot only.
