While relatively new to the electro music scene, TheDare has already eclipsed those of many of his DJ forebears with his raucous live sets. For W's Pop Issue, the poster boy for 'indie sleaze' discusses his forthcoming EP, and what's on the horizon.
Last October, some 400 guests flocked to the club Baby’s All Right in Brooklyn for the second anniversary party for “Perfectly Imperfect,” a newsletter that chronicles downtown’s new guard. But the evening is likely to be remembered as the night a New York star was born.
Engulfed by white balloons, the indie electro artist Harrison Patrick Smith, better known by his moniker, The Dare, tore through his debut single, “Girls,” with the intensity of a pulsating strobe light. “I like the girls that do drugs / Girls with cigarettes in the back of the club,” he sang, tossing his body back and forth between the speakers. As he stopped to genuflect in front of the crowd, the kinetic energy generated from the stage threatened to short-circuit the sea of glowing iPhones.
By design or mere happenstance, The Dare has become a poster boy for “indie sleaze,” a term for today’s post-TikTok embrace of the Golden Age of Pitchfork, when DFA Records was the only label that mattered and the electro act Fischerspooner was big enough to land an official remix of Kylie Minogue’s “Can’t Get You Out of My Head.
The sudden attention means Smith’s career has already eclipsed those of many of his forebears. “There are more people stopping me on the street now,” he said. He signed to Republic Records in April, and his first EP,, is out on May 19th. The Dare’s second single, “Good Time,” ditches party rock for grimier disco grooves. “I’m trying to tell a story very carefully with each song,” he explained. “And ‘Girls’ is a really funny place to start the story.
