The four Los Angeles-based musicians, whose musical backgrounds vary (but, notably, veer into hardcore\/punk territory), wanted to push their creative limits by delving into sounds and textures that weren’t accessible through their previous projects—a new sonic palette inspired more by vintage trip-hop, ambient music, and electronic pop than the guitar-based modes they cut their teeth on.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Without a Trace”, due out August 14 via Sunday Drive Records, was produced in collaboration with Max Epstein (Photographic Memory, Car Underwater). The band’s sophomore effort leans into a sound that still resonates in today’s dreampop landscape while also reflecting the retro radio influences to which the group pays homage. Synths swirl in stereo while lo-fi trip-hop backbeats churn. Keyboards gesture at times towards loungey jazz; guitars towards emo and shoegaze. Subsonic bass frequencies throb; digital artifacts and samples blip and whisper. Amidst it all, the ethereal, melodic vocals lull the listener into a state of bittersweet bliss.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DEATHWISH","offers":[{"title":"Green Glimpse Vinyl LP (Ltd. to 200)","offer_id":67558325125433,"sku":null,"price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":67558325158201,"sku":null,"price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0060\/2744\/4291\/files\/a2651196877_10.jpg?v=1790643887","url":"https:\/\/www.goingundergroundrecords.com\/products\/16-underground-without-a-trace","provider":"Going Underground Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
