Static of the Gods – True North
Biography
Static of the Gods combines post-rock, shoegaze, and dream pop influences to create an expansive, melodic and atmospheric sound. The trio blends layers of reverb-drenched guitar and synth to create an intense wall of music, which one reviewer likened to “…what Interpol would sound like if it listened to The Cure and Velocity Girl instead of Joy Division (and had a femme fatale at the mic)…”
The band’s new EP, The Midnight Fires, distills the band’s infectious trademark intensity in a collection of songs about fleeting moments and experiences. The Boston Phoenix says “STATIC OF THE GODS have built a reputation on electronic guitar pop that bakes warmly in a haze of shoegaze and post-rock. If their sound were a color, it’d be a bright-but-dense green — a vivid dream-pop forest of tall, lush melodies and weightless sonic oxygen. The first 100 or so seconds of “Hauntings,” off the upcoming The Midnight Fires EP, sways through those trees with an early-’90s Seattle breeze before heartbreak gives way to a gentle avalanche of ache and subtle power pop. The track climaxes in a Pixies-ian flutter over Jen Johnson’s reverb-glow guitar work before retracing its early-’90s roots.” Starting May 24, the EP will be available for free download at staticofthegods.bandcamp.com while the band works on a follow up full-length album to be released in Fall 2011.
