Post Louis

This Could Be A Bridge

    Led by Robbie Stern (guitar) and Stephanie Davin (vocals), the debut EP from Post Louis was mastered at the famed Abbey Road Studios and comes brimming with promise.

    Stern built a name for himself early, playing guitar in Cajun Dance Party, but with Post Louis he has traded rollicking, rough edges for a more classic indie rock sound. Sweeping solos and blazing riffs are joined by Davin’s magnificent vocals, which manage to be both devastatingly fragile and calmly tranquil; her lyrics are thoughtful and act as a gorgeous counter to the subtle electronic elements and swirls of feedback that surround the EP’s four tracks.

    “Post Louis is, in many ways, a completely fresh project. Taking a more classic sound in new directions, the duo fuse traditional songwriting with subtle glimpses of electronica” - Clash

    “Post Louis have succeeded in creating a thrilling revivalism of their own” - Fake DIY

    “A debut EP that makes for essential listening” - The Quietus

    “‘This Could Be A Bridge’ is a slack rock epic, building to buzzy crescendos with rubbery riffs… melodramatic lyrics, and quick flashes of guitar god soloing from Stern” - Pitchfork

    A Grave With No Name

    Whirlpool

    ‘Whirlpool’ completes a narrative trilogy of records for A Grave With No Name, beginning in 2009 with ‘Mountain Debris’, and continuing with 2011’s ‘Lower’. It’s a narrative that confronts the theme of loss, something which could be considered a well trodden path within popular music - yet Alex Shields, the songwriter behind A Grave With No Name, has managed to mine his own distinctive voice, tracing a delicate fissure in the emotional radiography of longing to spellbinding effect.

    This record has seen a more collaborative approach to song construction, with contributions from the likes of Linda Jarvis (Echo Lake), Akiko Matsuura (Comanechi) and Alanna McArdle (Ides).

    An album of contrasting beauty, from the hushed lullaby of ‘Bones’, to the euphoric glee of ‘Origami’, and the album’s opening song ‘Aurora’.
