BROOKLYN, NY — Avant-pop alchemist Idgy Dean — the musical moniker of Lindsay Sanwald — makes a triumphant return with the release of her highly anticipated new single, “Epiphany,” available everywhere August 8, 2025.
“Epiphany” follows Idgy Dean’s last release, 2022’s A Chronicle of Lightning Bolts — a full-length record composed while she was a graduate student at Harvard Divinity School, where she studied theology, mysticism, and the poetics of spiritual experience. Since then, she has continued to bridge the sacred and the sonic through her teaching, leading courses on the Bhagavad-Gita, the Tibetan Book of the Dead, and the writings of Virginia Woolf. Each of these texts echoes through “Epiphany,” which offers not only a musical revelation, but a meditative exploration of death, identity, and transcendence.
Fans of Dean’s earlier work — known for its genre-defying compositions and fiercely independent ethos — will find “Epiphany” a bold evolution: more theatrical, more mystical, and more unapologetically experimental. It signals a new era of storytelling for the artist, one where ancient texts meet modern synthesis, and pop becomes prophecy.
“Epiphany” marks a powerful re-entry for Idgy Dean — a homecoming of sound, spirit, and story: still lush, still fierce, but now sharpened by spiritual discipline and literary depth. It is the beginning of a new chapter for an artist whose work continues to defy category and expectation.
