Soars
Soars
Soars is a reflection and by-product of Eastern Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley; a fertile creative pool over the past decade, spawning a healthy number of noise/experimental/punk artists, bands, and venues (Brother JT, Pearls & Brass, etc). With NYC and Philadelphia in close proximity, it's all too common for the artist-as-drone to flee one's breeding grounds, leaving the assiduous worker-bees to tend the hive. Comprised of four long-time mainstays of the LV's spirited independent community (members of Memes, Goodnight Stars Goodnight Air, Dark Circles and We Have Heaven), the band's atmospheric scapes of dream-pop are awash with gauzy hints of Cocteau Twins and My Bloody Valentine, propelled by lockstep industrial rhythms. While destroying and rebuilding sonic textures and lyrical myth, Soars mirrors the depth, beauty, and character of their regenerative post-decay rust-belt colony.
