GAZEBOS
DIE ALONE (HARDLY ART)
Gazebos rages against the forces of post-millennial, pre-midlife anxiety and Die Alone is the soundtrack.
Die Alone is more complex than simple genre tags or clichéd descriptors allow. The band coined the phrase "whoa-pop" to describe their music and they say they're not mad at the term "prog-punk." The album was recorded in guitarist TV Coahran's basement on an 8-track with Seattle garage-rock guru Kurt Bloch (Fastbacks) as engineer.
No song sounds like another and yet the album sustains a dizzying, alluring vibe. Die Alone is the debut album from this Seattle four-piece.
Tracks 7 and 8 are covers - "There Are Worse Things I Could Do" was originally performed in the musical Grease (written by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey), and "Not Allowed" was originally written and performed by Californian post-punks Suburban Lawns.
This is the debut release from Gazebos. Featuring Shannon Perry (Butts, Katherine Hepburn's Voice, sought-after tattoo artist) on vocals, TV Coahran (R.
Stevie Moore, creator of GGNZLA records/karaoke) on guitar, Jordan T. Adams (Spurm, Monarchies) on drums, and Shane Herrell (Bread & Butter) on bass.
