We\u2019re not trying to glorify numbness. We want to actually reach our audience<\/em>.\u201d This longing to connect underpins Semaphore\u2019s work, lending an urgency to the band\u2019s perspective, sound, and approach.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Founded in 2013 by Anandalingam, Semaphore released its first album, \u2018All Too Robot,\u2019 in 2016, establishing the band\u2019s scene-bending fusion of shoegaze, post-hardcore, and impressionist classical music. \u201cIt\u2019s somewhere between My Bloody Valentine, Glassjaw, and Debussy, with a top note of angry teenage boy.\u201d Their forthcoming release, \u2018I Need a Reason to Stay,\u2019 develops and complicates that premise: \u201c<em>so much of the music made for young people is very blunt and on-its-face. Our mission is to take the music that was foundational to us as both people and artists and evolve it into something sophisticated and inviting.\u201d <\/em>Semaphore\u2019s unique sound luxuriates in the shifting tonalities, airy melodies, and lush orchestration of their greatest musical influences, incorporating songcraft and vocals in a decidedly un-shoegazey way. \u201c<em>It\u2019s the music I would have wanted to listen to in high school.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/6mJaGGD32Y2Uosyoi5i8q_j_0Faerrlg0gy4irfHNdrcYvzjL8JKsT0uUHctnv96kNE2soTQ3HxxNrI5EUbDgPCAlWm6FsGJOZuS3W0ri7KVI9G3TPVJlb5ynJBayJE0EGUAL7aMYld5GVTLD3-RVg8\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u2018I Need A Reason To Stay\u2019 Album Art<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Upcoming Tour Dates<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>MARCH<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>26 &#8211; Brooklyn, NY &#8211; Gold Sounds (Album Release Show)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>APRIL<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>08 &#8211; Staten Island, NY &#8211;&nbsp; Mother Pug\u2019s Saloon<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>22 &#8211; Brooklyn, NY &#8211; Gold Sounds<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>JUNE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>02 &#8211; Brooklyn, NY &#8211; Windjammer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>03 &#8211; Philadelphia, PA &#8211; Century<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>04 &#8211; Boston, MA &#8211; TBD<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on Semaphore, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/t.e2ma.net\/click\/j3siti\/3m9fkn\/b9zdso\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">www.semaphoreband.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Semaphore have shared their new single 01000110 ahead of the release of their forthcoming album \u2018I Need A Reason To Stay,\u2019 out March 24th.
