I'm not sure how to pigeonhole our sound, but someone who recently saw us play described it as ShoeWave (a mix between shoegaze and new wave). I think our sound is fairly original and the songwriting is solid. A few of our influences include Deerhunter, Animal Collective, Joy Division, David Bowie, Flaming Lips, Beach House, Grizzly Bear, Pavement, Radiohead, TV on the Radio, The Cure and New Order. [...and Atlas Sound, Arcade Fire, Broken Social Scene, Mazzy Star, Of Montreal, Walkmen, Sujan Stevens] - Animal Friend from San Francisco, CA- San Francisco’s Animal Friend caught our ear last year with the upbeat, falsetto, and synth-heavy “Sunset”. They’ve come back with even more synthesizers on the track “Just Fine”, which sounds like it could have come from the soundtrack to your favorite teen comedy from the ’80s. The synth bassline that carries the song is a special throwback treat. Animal Friend’s Jasper Speicher tells me the band is in the process of recording an album’s worth of material as well as working on “a van that generates and uploads music based on environment and geography and weather data wherever we go.” Personally, I can’t wait to see the results of both projects.
