Athens, Georgia’s premiere doom pop trio & bedroom recordists New Wives, comprised of Drew Kirby, Matt Anderegg and Zach Gastley. HI I’M ALIVE :: at last released on August 5th, 2016 via Marching Banana Records.
This is our first full-length album, written during the year 2014 with the intent to blend the lighter pop leanings of our debut white EP with the explosiveness of the black EP but perhaps with a bit more vision and overall cohesion in sound, a blending… So this is a pop record written during (& also ushering in the conclusion of) the first period of this band, the “live” period, where our songs were fast and loud and punchy and meant to be heard & played in someones living room or backyard or comparable venue for casual collegiate thrillseeking.
Our next album is tentatively titled YOU & I ARE EARTH and we will probably spread back out and try more longform stuff – like the closer here, “Lisa (Reprise)”, the only song to break the 5-minute mark and the final track composed for this album. Next album will also have Zero unnatural/effected distortion.
