New York indie rock outfit The Spires have accomplished quite a bit with only a few published songs to their name. Last year, the group released their Candy Flip b/w Comic Book 7-inch, as well as the hypnotic track “Sleepy Eyes”. Since then, they completed a residency at Pianos in New York City and toured with acts like Temples and Widowspeak. Now, they’re finally gearing up to release their self-titled debut EP on September 18th via 401K Music. As a teaser, the band has unveiled their latest single “Nothing More”.
Much like their previous material, there’s a dreaminess to the song. Acoustic guitar chords chug under moody synthesizer warbles and an upfront bass line. The vocals are blissfully obscured, like a hazy voice calling from a distance. The drum rhythm adds to the swirling atmosphere, drawing the listener to the serene melodies like a whirlpool. It’s an entrancing reintroduction to the band, complete with otherworldly aesthetics.
“The whole thing came together pretty quickly,” singer/guitarist Matt Stevenson “We ended up recording it right before Christmas in this freezing cold house up in Boston and then back at Jack’s apartment in Brooklyn. It’s a hazy little autumnal song about feeling completely disconnected from everyone around you.”
