BLOOD
Loving You Backwards, the debut album from Blood, flourishes in the subtle, the ambiguous, the shades of gray. Blood, in the past, made huge, angry, grandiose, operatic songs. Loving You Backwards, is not that. Instead, this debut record is quieter, less reactive, but no less powerful. No less imbued with intensity, no less intricate. Fully realized.
In winter of 2021, longtime Austin residents Blood made a fresh start, using a move into a house together in Philadelphia as a chance to reorient and spend time writing music around the clock. Although the band now is made of a different lineup, Blood circa Loving You Backwards, was made by an emotionally knit six piece. This record encompasses that first generation of Blood, the one that completely immersed itself in their newfound home in Philadelphia and dedicated themselves to the craft of losing oneself in the artform. They were able to write, rehearse, and record without interruption, and as musicians and songwriters, they progressed rapidly. As they wrote, the sound of the band began to transform.
TRUTH CLUB
Truth Club's songs fall somewhere between chilly post-punk and spacious, nerved-out indie rock. Hailing from Raleigh, North Carolina, the band made a strong critical impression with their 2019 debut album, Not an Exit. After moving from the regional Tiny Engines label to New York-based Double Double Whammy, they delivered their follow-up, Running from the Chase, in 2023.
Truth Club was formed by longtime friends Travis Harrington (vocals, guitar) and Elise Jaffe (drums) who enlisted bassist Kameron Vann to play their first show in 2017. Before they even had a record out, the band had already notched a national tour. During sessions for what would become their debut LP, guitarist Yvonne Chazal came into the picture, and by the time Truth Club signed with Tiny Engines, they were a quartet.
