Drawing comparisons to\u00a0Iceage\u00a0and\u00a0Protomartyr, Catcher deliver\u00a0music with a driving and inundating low-end, provided by childhood friends Cameron McRae and Wilson Chestney, on bass and drums respectively. Guitarists Jack Young and Christian Reech \u2014 each having been recruited earlier this year via a Craigslist ad and connection via the band&#8217;s shared Tinder \u2014 interweave melodies and noise to create an environment that manages to be at once both bleak and moving, desolate but hopeful, violent but tender. Vocalist Austin Eichler commands listeners with a domineering and chaotic presence. From drawling croons to powerful screams, Austin\u2019s narrative lyrics invoke a wide spectrum of emotion while creating a world of their own. Through endless hours of practice and work, the band has crafted a gripping and tight live performance and a growing international fanbase.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While concocting Catcher\u2019s general ethos, Austin explained their process as, more or less, taking each of their individual interests and combining them into a stew, flavored with bits of post-punk influence and dashes of noise and art rock. With this project, they retained a sense of dedication to switch things up as well, gaining ideas from listening to music that didn\u2019t sound similar to anything they\u2019d personally done before \u2014 this included anything from the noisy chaos of\u00a0Puce Mary\u00a0and\u00a0T.P. Orchestre Poly-Rhythmo, to free jazz, dub, and even the likes of\u00a0Johnny Cash\u00a0<em>\u201cto draw back to [their] southern roots.\u201d<\/em> Thematically, their lyrical material comes as a result of influences from films (such as\u00a0<em>Wake In Fright<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>Until The End Of The World<\/em>) and books (like\u00a0<em>The Power and The Glory<\/em>\u00a0by Graham Greene and\u00a0<em>The Master and Margarita<\/em>\u00a0by Mikhail Bulgakov), but also everyday life experiences.\u00a0<br><br>Catcher&#8217;s debut album is due in 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>NYC post-punk outfit\u00a0Catcher\u00a0have shared their comeback single Comparing Saviors and Friends.
