THE ROAD TO SOUND: Video Premiere: Bec Plexus & Amy Beth Kirsten, “Dare I Dare You”
BY VANESSA AGUE
“The second installation of Bec Plexus’ spree of video releases is Amy Beth Kirsten’s ‘Dare I Dare You,’ a song that meanders through groovy syncopations and unsettling dissonances to tell the story of unrequited love. Kirsten, a 2011 Guggenheim Fellow, explores dramatic, theatrical musical styles, often forming pieces that fly between different means of expression with deft. “Dare I Dare You” fits squarely into this framework: the music is at once vibrant and eccentric, twisting and turning between themes and ideas above a driving, quirky pulse.”
