Uma avalanche sônica exala do EP de estreia homônimo do quarteto de San Diego, Svelte.
Traços de noise, shoegaze e uma aura cinzenta permeiam as quatro faixas com destaque absoluto para "Improved Means To Unimproved Ends" que transcende o espectro entre calmaria, melancolia e agressividade.
Para ser escutado em volume máximo.
***** Interview with Svelte *****
E: The band has existed in some sort of mutation for about 3 years. We initially decided to make music together when we met at the Steinhaus, after years of not seeing each other, and expressed our interest in experimental music. We all come from very different backgrounds, myself having played in a blues, 60’s inspired rock band, Ralph coming from a more post-hardcore/math-rock project, and Jeremiah in and out of a psychedelic band. We noticed ease in crafting songs, but things weren’t fully concrete until we introduced Bradley into the project. We all met him through Jeremiah, after many conversations about Tera Melos, and felt that he was a natural addition to the project. A year of trial and error, fights, but at foremost, being constantly inspired by each other, we achieved a balanced chemistry in our friendship that in turn translated into music. The music itself has been an exploration of how we feel and in a way is a conversation between all that is wrong in us, and everything that is right.
