Movements (US - Fearless Records) Music and emotion share a timeless physiological, psychological, and spiritual bond. A chord, a melody, or a lyric can lift spirits and inspire. Movements achieve that sort of reaction on their full-length debut, 'Feel Something' . Threading together spacey guitars, evocative and introspective lyricism, ponderous spoken word, and tight songcraft, the Southern California quartet - Patrick Miranda , Ira George , Spencer York , and Austin Cressey - immediately connect by opening up. That musical…

SECT XVX (USA - Southern Lord) Sect Noun: “A dissenting or schismatic group of people with somewhat different beliefs -typically regarded as heretical -from those of a larger group to which they belong.

Sect is comprised of five veterans of ‘90s…

Valley Maker (US - French Kiss Records) On Valley Maker's forthcoming second full-length album, Rhododendron, songwriter Austin Crane sings about movement – from one kind of belief to another, from place to place, through time. This new record from Crane, a Seattle-based musician and PhD student in Human Geography, reflects both the rootedness and rootlessness that shapes his songwriting on the precipice of his third decade. Like his noted inspirations Jason Molina, Bill Fay, and Gillian Welch before him, he…

Casey (UK - Hassle Records) Casey are a five-piece melodic hardcore band from South Wales. The band's 2016 debut, Love Is Not Enough, was a raw and visceral exploration of vocalist Tom Weaver’s personal relationships. It was an open-heart surgery that examined his romantic and familial bonds, or their wreckage, in the context of his own mental health, to devastating effect. 2018’s follow-up, Where I Go When I Am Sleeping, is no less revealing. But instead of concentrating on what…

Big ‡ Brave (CA - Southern Lord) "Montreal, Quebec, Canada, three-piece BIG|BRAVE plays sincere, long-form out-rock that ventures in to different directions — at times mournful and unsettling — their music plays out in to moon-bleached grunge where serene vocals crumble over scraping guitars bled of melody. Sometimes it’s the sound you don’t make. Big|Brave chooses their silences carefully, oscillating between sparse, gentle arrangements and deep swells of noise. They are patient, their crescendos tidal and graceful. Heavy drums come…

Wallows (US - Atlantic Records) Best friends since the age of 11, the members of Wallows have spent most of their lives obsessing over music together, steadily gathering a musical vocabulary that’s expansive and erratic and wildly eclectic. On their full-length debut Nothing Happens, the L.A.-based trio puts that vocabulary to work and draws from infinite inspirations: scores to Spike Jonze movies, the Beatles’ most rhapsodic digressions, bedroom pop and lo-fi hip-hop and ’70s post-punk. The result is an album…
