Shoegaze/post­punk trio from Seattle with Nostalgist

26th of June 2015, 07:58

Nostalgist To Release Full Length LP Of Love and Days Ago Digital, CD and LP via Nostalgium Directive (Hollow Sunshine, A Heart in the Stillness) , West Coast Tour, Noisey Premieres Advanced Track ‘Pull of the Plow"

Seattle’s Nostalgist return with “Pull of the Plow,” the new track from their debut LP Of Loves and Days Ago. Its hard-swinging heft deftly displays the trio’s sonic blend: equal parts heavy, swirling Siamese Dream riffs, expansive shoegaze atmospheres, airy Macunian post-punk isolation and a romantic, self-questioning lyrical bent filtered through film noir themes. Thick, warm guitar fuzz and lush, shimmering reverb interweave with melodic bass and intricate drums as melancholy vocals narrate a tale of love with an uncertain future. At once wistful and hopeful, “Pull of the Plow” is a tune wishing for better things to come.

Nostalgist is a shoegaze/post­punk trio from Seattle, WA. Lead by founding member Asa Eisenhardt on vocals and guitar, the lineup is rounded out by Connor Keogh on bass and Mark Knowles on drums. Formed in late 2012 with now­departed members Martin Berg (drums) and Jeff Spencer (bass), the band crafts lushly opiate, powerfully dense dream rock rife with distortion and an almost forbidding intensity. A love of film noir, a sense of isolation and a decidedly romantic aesthetic shine through the often self­questioning, reflectively vulnerable lyrics. On their debut release, Monochromantic (2013), the band traversed cold, shadowy corridors of '80s post­punk, smartly illuminated in the darkest moments with the warm, glowing embers of amorphous shoegaze. Assisted by Nick Bassett(Whirr, Nothing, Deafheaven) on lead guitar and engineered/mixed/mastered by Jack Shirley, the two­song EP filtered self criticism, alienation, and regret through a gossamer lens. Shimmering melody haunts the slow, reflective trudge of “Illusory,” while “Twisting, Slowly (Cleansing Doubt)” spins a plush, quixotic respite in the middle of an otherwise propulsive charge. Monochromantic was released on Eisenhardt’s Nostalgium Directive label on 7" vinyl, a limited deluxe cassette tape, and as a digital download. Full length LP Of Love and Days Ago out July 10th 2015. Great for fans of The Chameleons, early Smashing Pumpkins, Hum, Failure, Slowdive, Catherine Wheel, The Cure.
