Like a lot of folks the past few years (especially), I was riding a wave of anxiety, depression, and uncertainty of what the future was going to be like. At the time I was nearing 40, unemployed due to Covid related layoffs, filled with existential dread, and pondering what I\u2019ve done with my life and what to do with the rest of it. I\u2019d often wake up in the middle of the night with all of these thoughts and try to find a way to calm myself down in order to get a couple of hours of sleep. I already had the phrase \u201ctime is calling\u201d in my head, along with the main guitar riff and vocal melody. So, I would just run through lyric ideas based around that until I\u2019d eventually fall asleep. When we all got together to go over the song idea, we ended up fleshing out the basic structure in one night pretty much. It\u2019s just one of those songs that felt strong and we didn\u2019t want to overthink too much.&#8221; &#8211; Chris Stevens of Low Praise<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More about Low Praise<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Low Praise are an Oakland based post-punk trio whose nervous energy and chanting hooks recall late 70s post-punk acts such as The Fall and Wire. The band previously issued a pair of EPs,\u00a0\u2018EXPECTATION(S)\u2019 and\u00a0\u2018TANNING BEDS\u2019 recorded by Andrew Oswald (Marbled Eye).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The band\u2019s debut full length\u00a0\u2018DRESSING\u2019\u00a0(out\u00a05\/19\/23) was recorded over two sessions split apart by a year of peak COVID. During this time Low Praise was forced to evolve and collaborate remotely, leading to new experimentation in sounds and structure. The band then came back together to reimagine these digital creations in their stripped down three piece live format. The end result,\u00a0\u2018DRESSING,\u2019 sees Low Praise deliver their most diverse and wide reaching songs to-date, unified by themes of anxiety and helplessness that they collectively experienced during that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Low Praise have supported acts such as Quasi, Death Bells, Ulrika Spacek, Mint Field, The Acharis and Collapsing Scenery.\u00a0\u2018DRESSING\u2019 was engineered by Jay Pellicci (Deerhoof, The Dodos), and mixed by Jason Cupp (Maps &amp; Atlases, American Football).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i2.cmail20.com\/ei\/j\/EB\/268\/BE4\/015929\/csfinal\/Dressing_Album_Cover_Art-99000003cf05143c.jpg\" alt=\"Low Praise DRESSING cover artwork\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u2018DRESSING\u2019 track list<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/forcefieldpr.cmail20.com\/t\/j-l-eilkdld-drjjtiirkr-t\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Forget That It\u2019s Summer<\/a><br>Gate<br>Time Is Calling<br>Angela<br>Supermind<br>Hollow Ego<br>No Way<br>Entertainment<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pre-order it\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/forcefieldpr.cmail20.com\/t\/j-l-eilkdld-drjjtiirkr-j\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tour dates <\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>5\/05&nbsp;Albany, CA &#8211; Ivy Room&nbsp;w\/ Hammered Hulls &amp; Rip Room<br>6\/10&nbsp;Oakland, CA &#8211; Thee Stork Club w\/ Juicebumps &amp; Hits<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Oakland post-punk band Low Praise faces their own mortality on their new single Time Is Calling, ahead of their debut LP.
