The name Der Blue Rider is a half-translation of the German phrase “Der Blaue Reiter”. It refers to the movement of pre-WWI German and Russian painters who were rejected by traditional artists based on their desire to communicate spirituality through art.
It’s a cool concept to center a music project around, and with a track called “Universe”, it’s quite possible this musician intends to pick up where the past left off.
Der Blue Rider AKA Denisse Salcido’s mysterious brand of dream-pop is the perfect soundtrack to long, hazy summer days in the sunshine. Her siren song voice swims in woozy surf-rock inspired guitars and evokes the thought of rolling waves.
Keep an out for new developments from this artist, but for now bask in the tranquil sounds of “Universe”.
