Imagine L.A. Witch, Curve, and Chapterhouse hitching a ride through the desert with The Horrors and Sextile riding shotgun. The result? A goth-tinged shoegaze anthem with a punk soul and a poetic edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>I don\u2019t just want to keep pushing upward into oblivion,<\/em>\u201d Taleen explains. \u201c\u2018<em>Aepex\u2019 is the pinnacle of pleasure.
