Forming in Gainesville, Florida in December 2010, Dikembe swiftly made their mark with a compelling blend of emo and indie rock influences. After signing with Tiny Engines in 2012, they released their debut album “Broad Shoulders,” which garnered attention for its emotive lyrics and dynamic compositions. In 2014, Dikembe released their sophomore album “Mediumship,” showcasing their evolution with introspective themes and intricate melodies. As a trio, they independently released “Hail Something” on their Death Protector Collective label, further solidifying their presence in the indie rock scene.
Adding Andy Anaya of Pool Kids on guitar in 2017 infused new energy into their acclaimed fourth LP, “Muck,” in 2020, released under the label Skeletal Lightning. With each album, Dikembe continues to captivate audiences with their sincere storytelling and evolving musical prowess, cementing their reputation as influential figures in modern indie rock.
