<p>"Much of the song is mesmerically minimalist… which makes the sudden gut punches of concentrated, bristling noise all the more wrenching. Bound are a band that earn their moments of loud. And the video for 'The Lot' is appropriately austere, a stream-of-consciousness tone poem that often concentrates, quite literally, on an empty lot."</p>

<p>For this early listen, will you humor us on something? Listen on headphones in a quiet place – in a single sitting, if possible. </p>
<p>We know… Everyone is bombarded by all kinds of media 24/7, and people’s attention spans are understandably ever-shorter. So this may be a lot to ask. But for what it’s worth, the density, depth, and movement through the stereo field is very important to us. A number of people put a lot of time into getting these things just right. And it’s only really brought to life through this kind of active listening.</p>
<p>What’s next: </p>
<ul> <li>Today (Sept. 29): Vinyl preorders shipping</li> <li>October 1: Official album release – <em>Bandcamp only</em>

<p>This will be the last track released before the full album drops on October 1st. Here's a statement by Bryan:</p>
<p><em>“The album is a sustained exploration of place, both sonically and lyrically. In particular, we were seeking to inhabit emotionally significant locations from our lives where formative events occurred – whether traumatic or otherwise – and examine the powerful pull that those places still exert over us. The whole thing is peppered with the sounds of objects taken directly from those places, either recorded on-location or gathered and brought into the studio. Some became obvious musical elements, some are more like sound effects, and some are just tucked away in the mix, perceptible only if you know what you’re listening for, just so we know they’re there. While we think it’s important for people to understand the general concept of the album, we’re not keen on hashing out every detail. That tends to cheapen a project, I think, causing people to focus too much on the details of the artists’ personal lives rather than what they as a listener or viewer get out of the art. Plus, some personal things are just personal. </em></p>
<p><em>“As far as ‘The Lines’ goes, I can say that it incorporates spikes from the old railroad bed that runs along my family’s farm in southwestern Virginia, likely once connecting to the tracks that ran behind Dan’s house all the way up in Delaware. These are used musically sort of as claves or triangles. The wind chimes you hear in the song were made by my grandfather many decades ago out of old silverware my grandmother had. I heard these very chimes nearly every day that I played outside as a child, and well into my adulthood whenever I returned home. </em></p>
<p><em>“The album is presented as a series of vignettes in an unbroken, circular composition. And no one piece of it is really representative of the whole. So it does feel a little strange to release single songs like this, disembodied from their surroundings. While the second half of ‘The Lines’ does explode into a giant, loud guitar solo with some intricate backing instrumentation, the first half of the song is one of the sparsest sections on an album that otherwise tends to be quite densely arranged. Also, if you squint, you might be able to discern the high-lonesome and old-time music influence on this song, which doesn’t really appear anywhere else on the record. Kotu and I were really intent on making sure that was at least somewhat preserved in the final mix. This song also has the shortest lyrics. But to me personally they’re some of the ‘biggest’ and most profound expressions on the album. </em></p>
<p><em>“Trish is a graphic artist and does most of the visuals for the band. She created this video from scratch – just from imagining what the song evoked in her and digitally illustrating and animating it over the course of a couple months. Notably, it’s unique among the videos we’ll be releasing for this record because it’s 100% motion graphics, no live-action footage. But I think it does a great job of bringing to life some of the imagery suggested by the lyrics, creating an appropriate atmosphere for the listener, and subtly tying back to the album art, which she also created. I hope others dig it too.” </em><br> </p>

<p>For the album artwork itself, it was important to us to carry forward the resurrection fern featured on the cover of No Beyond. A symbol of dormancy and potential, endurance and survival, it's become a de facto band mascot. We're also fortunate to be able to do our art in-house, thanks to Trish. </p>
<p>For some Where's-Waldo-style fun, you could look for all the fern instances in these panels from the LP.</p>

<p><em>...Being practically post-everything, they’re not a group that’s conveniently sorted. Stemming audibly from metal, post-rock, shoegaze and dream pop, their influences are many and varied. But in their hands, it all proves complementary. At once gossamer and heavy, their sound is a complex fog of slow-breath mood and bottomless, elegant melancholy. In its quiet stretches, it verges on evaporation. But when it rises, it comes in like a tsunami.</em></p>
<p><em>There are only two meaningful ways to experience this band: at volume on a stentorian stereo with no neighbors or live. In person, they don’t just play, they envelop, like a magnificent hurricane of pristine fuzz and groan...</em></p>

<p>Bound formed one year ago today. Since then, we’ve been silent. </p>
<p>On April 20, 2018, we’ll release our first album: No Beyond. It’ll be available anywhere you stream or download music. </p>
<p>We’ve purposely taken an unorthodox path to get here. </p><!-- more -->
<p>We didn’t release a demo of our first song ideas to get something out there. We didn’t play a bunch of shows to see how audiences reacted. We didn’t drop lone singles or an EP to test the waters. </p>
<p>We wanted to present our considered judgment - and a full, unadulterated vision. </p>
<p>That’s what No Beyond is for us. It’s one hour of exactly the music we wanted to make together at this time. And it’s a complete statement. </p>
<p>We’ve totally poured ourselves into this record. And it will be enormously gratifying to share it. </p>
<p>In the meantime, one track is available for streaming <a contents="here" data-link-label="Music" data-link-type="page" href="/music">here</a>. </p>
<p>A big thanks to Kris Hilbert, who engineered and mixed the album at <a contents="Legitimate Business" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.lgtbiz.com" target="_blank">Legitimate Business</a>, and Alan Douches, who mastered the album at <a contents="West West Side" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.westwestsidemusic.com" target="_blank">West West Side</a>. </p>
<p>Stay tuned for more…</p>Bound
