Neck of the Woods Presents: PERFECT LOSS, White Label Analog, Sweet Undertow
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Perfect Loss
Perfect Loss formed in Oakland, CA in December of 2013. This is Deathrock in love with Dreampop. This is longing breaking up with itself and the music one writes to survive it. This is Beauty as Killer, for right or for wrong. And the wreckage that follows, formed into song.
White Label Analog
So often, debut albums are saddled with the weight of expectation. The members of Austin, Texas-based White Label Analog—vocalist Chris Didear, guitarist/vocalist James Millican, drummer/vocalist Heath Macintosh, keyboardist/vocalist Alison Pepper, and bassist Aaron Herbster—have been through that pressure before, and they know how to rise to the challenge with their electrifying debut album, In Case You Just Tuned In.
A theme of carpe diem envelops much of In Case You Just Tuned In. Even in the album’s most personal moments, White Label Analog is focused clawing their way out of the dark and into the light. Musically, the album is bursting with the vitality of this mantra, with energetic synths and vivacious drum beats that recall the most joyous moments in the listener. The result is an eclectic group of songs that seems to pull as much from pop rock traditions like The Killers as they do from indie bands like Two Door Cinema Club and Modest Mouse. In an era of convergence between indie rock and pop music, White Label Analog is the daring alliance between the two. Call it indie rock for the poptimist generation.
Sweet Undertow
Sweet Undertow is steeped in the American roots music played on daddy’s radio — from Jimmie Rodgers to Big Mama Thornton, Leadbelly to Johnny Cash, Townes Van Zandt to Tom Waits. Long, wild years on the road, mixed with a deep base in country, blues, soul and American roots, shaped Sweet Undertow into a modern take on the American folk tradition, built through a decade of playing with and learning from other artists in America, India, Ukraine, France, Singapore and Vietnam.
