New York’s Activity are a favourite of ours, Consisting of members of the equally brilliant Gowns and Russian Baths, the four piece released their stunning debut album, “Unmask Whoever“, last year. It was among the best debut album’s of the year and we’ve since heard nothing else to suggest otherwise. While the quality of Unmask Whoever is evident, we should also point out at Activity are probably the unluckiest bands from the lockdown period. Having released their debut two weeks before the pandemic and inevitable lockdown, look no further than the album title.
Clocking in at just over 5 minutes, “White Phosphorus” starts with a medieval- riff before those water-tight rhythm sections take the song into a sprawling atmospheric presentation of the very idea of indie-rock circa 2021.
We are friends and we’re working on album 2. New York / Philadelphia. Our newest single thingy “White Phosphorus” (which was a song that got recorded along with our first album)
released February 5th, 2021
