 The Backstays’ Tributaries“When the pieces first came together, it was about trying to escape but never being able to move on; like chasing after something intangible,â said The Backstaysâ Serenna Chapman (she/her) of single âForever Gold Bricks.â âI’d say this is a cautionary tale about how running away, towards empty, superficial things ultimately never works.” That push and pull mark the defining faultline of Tributaries, The Backstaysâ debut album. A meeting point between heartland rock songwriting and darker, atmospheric indie rock, Tributaries sees the band experimenting with a more expansive sound that equally evokes new wave and post-punk. +++ info > |
