DIM KELLY returns to All Day I Dream with emotionally charged, hauntingly beautiful ‘Homily’ EP

DIM KELLY returns to Lee Burridge’s All Day I Dream imprint to release his three track ‘Homily’ EP. On the heels of three acclaimed EPs released on the label – ‘Nocturna Animal’ in 2021,’ Mangrove’ in 2022, and ‘Pianologic’ in 2023, and in 2024 DIM KELLY is back once again, delivering his signature melodic sensibilities that have become a consistent fixture of the All Day I Dream catalog. When DIM KELLY recently performed at the All Day I Dream of Summer Shimmer party at the Brooklyn Mirage on June 2, unreleased tracks played from the ‘Homily’ EP created some of the most unforgettable moments of the show.

Influenced by genres such as classical, hip hop, and of course electronic, DIM KELLY’s diverse musical background is evident in the varied textures and moods of the ‘Homily’ EP. In addition to his aforementioned releases on All Day I Dream, DIM KELLY has released electronic music under an impressive slew of labels, including Lee Burridge’s other imprint TRYBESof, Armada, and Reworck.

The ‘Homily’ EP kicks off with its titular track, a standout from the body of work. ‘Homily’ is a seven and a half minute paragon, featuring a hauntingly beautiful vocal performance by fellow Belgian musician Mondingo, set against a backdrop of intricate melodies and lush soundscapes. From near the get go, we’re treated to Mondingo’s vocal performance, which creates a somber introduction to the track. As energy increases within the instrumental, a feeling of optimism builds, until a moment of peak euphoria around the five minute mark, as powerful synth stabs create a feeling of triumph. As elements of the ‘Homily’ instrumental are stripped back towards its conclusion, the emotional atmosphere of the track is now sanguine – a stark contrast from the track’s darker introduction.

Reflecting on the track, DIM KELLY explains: “As always, I try to convey emotions through my music. When I heard Mondingo’s voice two years ago, I was completely blown away by it. His voice has a depth and emotion that really touches me, so it was only natural that we did something together. I composed the music, sent it to him, and two days later, he sent back the vocals, which I loved. ‘Homily’ existed.”
