Through L3V!’s elegant lyrics and Davnak’s expansive sound, Ever Dream invites the listener to evaluate themselves, the world, and our place in it.
Do you ever dream of what the world could be?
Davnak X L3V!, Trials of a Porcelain Doll
May 1st, 2021
If there be only one way to describe this project, the term “Sonic Thriller” comes to mind. Forged by the combined creative energies of Davnak and L3V!, “Trials of a Porcelain Doll” is one of the more unique products to hit the digital music market. It consists of bone chilling theatrical instrumentals that are seasoned with a superb lyrical display. The storyline hits with a precision and concision that shakes the senses and unites the natures of man; mind, spirit, and body. This is surely an EP that encapsulates the volatile reality of the human condition, searching the deepest trenches of depression, to reaching the highest mountains of joyousness, and every step in between.

Following the release of Davnak’s melancholic EP “Breath,” “Black Lights” takes a more up-beat and energetic approach. It develops exciting and dynamic dance tunes, all while holding to Davnak‘s wistful and alluring sound. Like how the rising of the sun ushers in a new day of both great possibilities and great uncertainties. It incapsulates the joy of abandon mixed with the cold reality of the next morning.

"New Path" expresses a large range of Davnak's musical styles. While words can describe the concrete and certain, “New Path’s” instrumental approach dives into the abstract emotions of music.
Derk The Incredible, Wonderland Single
April 2020
Beautiful Free was born out of an intense season of apathy that erupted into a moment of frustration as I sat in a Houston park completely defeated. It was there that I was reminded of who I was transformed to be by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. No longer am I bound by fear, trampled by shame, or aimlessly idle.
As a result of this I wish to inspire others to reach the same point so that they may be elevated beyond merely existing; and that's a life worth living.
This is bigger than selling clothes and making art; it is a movement and a state of mind. I want the world to be free, Beautiful Free

Davnak, Clockwork Single
