Seattle-based band Scarves are of their new LP, streaming their new LP ‘Dinner Dates for the End of Days,’ which is out now via Good Eye Records. Take a listen via Soundcloud below.
Over the past few years, Seattle-based math-rock emo-punks Scarves has established themselves as, “One of the city’s top-notch rising acts,” according to KEXP.
Scarves have released a new LP, ‘Dinner Dates for the End of Days,’ their first with Good Eye Records, which is out now digitally and on vinyl, including a limited “Green/Blue” Smoke color run.
The band wrote and rehearsed ‘Dinner Dates for the End of Days’ under a cloud of smoke and ash from British Columbia forest fires. Each song is a portrait of an end times that’s positively inspiring and undeniably heart-warming. Even as we lurch toward something unpleasant, it’s hard to be too bummed out with Niko’s vocals and Watts’ driving drums.
The album was recorded at Destination Universe in Portland: a studio designed to blend in to a neighborhood realtors might call “character-filled.” Produced by Hutch Harris of Thermals, the album was recorded downright punkishly. No click and mostly single takes. It showcases the tightness of the band that the finished product sounds so lush. Rounding out the personnel was engineer Victor Nash of Point Juncture, WA and studio cat Oogi.
