The Toronto-based GROUNDERS, consisting of Andrew Davis (vocals and guitar), Daniel Busheikin (keyboards), Mike Searle (Bass) and Evan Lewis (guitar) — will release their first full-length album this summer via Nevado Music.
It’s a collection of dense and intricate pop music created under a gauzy veil of psychedelia and lo-fi.
They have now issued a new single: ‘No Ringer’.
We had a listen:
This greasy bomb of jello reverbs, skids and slides across the bottom of the tub of sounds like butt-fat.
It increases in dimension like the creases found in the dirty bottom of a jacuzzi.
Nevertheless, the off-kilter vocals are particularly sweet and not-a-little sentimental.
They tend to gather around the sloppy synths and the assorted heart-thumps of rhythm.
A muted trumpet-like squelch orients itself around the waterfalling spouts of sound as they effectively glisten, but largely this is a repetitive riffer.
A space-age psychedelic indie-rock number, filled with brass-knuckled agitation and soppy wistfulness…
