STRATEGIC ARTIST ADVOCACY SINCE 1997
Reno's BLUNDERBUSST returns from a five-year hiatus with a new six-song EP and double 7-inch tomorrow courtesy of Slow Start Records. Today, hear "James Alex Chilton" from the new record, which Pure Grain Audio calls "Their best material to date," and adds, "Let’s just hope it doesn’t take another five years to hear more from this refreshingly unique band."
"Imagine if Aimee Mann decided to pick up Adam Franklin’s guitar and made the most lucid decision to create songs within a spectrum of sound where the only prerequisite was listed as, 'Challenging post-dreamy shoegaze.'" Hear the title song from BLUNDERBUSST’s new 2x7" EP over at Ghettoblaster Magazine now. The track is everywhere tomorrow and orders for the vinyl version (see it here: http://bit.ly/MOTM2X7) go live tomorrow, as well.
The 15-year career of the noisy, Reno, Nevada-based shoegaze-pop band BLUNDERBUSST has included more time off than on. The group sticks to an edict of not only letting the songs be what they want, but also when they want. The band formed in 2005, released its first album in 2010, and a follow-up EP in 2014.
Essentially, BLUNDERBUSST makes music when the time is right, and that time has arrived again as the band returns with a new EP this summer. Songwriter Jen Scaffidi (vocals, guitar), Carolyn Gates (drums), and Carson Cessna (guitars/synths) will release “Monarch of the Mountain,” which may or may not precede its next vacation, on Aug. 9th via San Antonio’s Slow Start Records. The six-song collection will be available digitally and as a 2x7”.
