It ends up being a lot of fun, even if it sounds…dire. Holly Waits and Aaron Starkey, one half of the Seattle post-punk band Gibraltar, take their ecstatic driving piano and angular guitar playing into more accessible directions in Long Dark Moon. Make no mistake…guitar jams abound and clever melodic piano interplay is foundational, but in Long Dark Moon it hinges on the song to tell the story, not the blistering riff.Soft Self Portraits -What started as an experiment with a cassette deck and a synthesizer quickly became an outlet for grief, growth, and the exploration of a life of sobriety. Within the word of Soft Self Portraits, Cody Wade spins melancholy tales of love, loss, and the human condition, all through layers of warm harmonies creating a comfortable, eerily familiar dreamscape.
