Pinback to unleash Seraphs this year
Pinback, to my mind, is one of the best kept secrets in the indie music scene. The duo of Rob Crow and Armistead Burwell Smith IV have, for over the course of three albums, made the kind of intense layered pop that are staggering works of ethereal beauty. Their first album This is a Pinback CD (also known simply as Pinback) is on my list of highly recommended albums for anyone who wants to get into indie music.
The great news is that Pinback is about to release a new album on September this year entitled Autumn of The Seraphs. This is their first album of original works since 2004’s critically acclaimed Summer in Abbadon (note to self, imperative to get a copy of this album ASAP before the new one drops into stores).
I am waiting with bated breath for the new album. Summer in Abbadon saw the duo approach their trademark sound from a new direction. I’d love to see if the progression to change their sound will carry on with the new one. Whatever they decide to do though I’ll be there to support the band. They are one of the few artists that have proven to have a very strong consistent body of work in terms of excellence. Any music fan should really check this band out because they are really missing out on a lot.
