If It's Too Loud...

Photo by Ebru Yildiz Activity, the NYC semi-supergroup featuring members of Grooms, Field Mouse, and Russian Baths, are back with another single from their upcoming debut album. "Nude Prince" continues the trip hop meets shoegaze sound we loved from their previous single. If anything, "Nude Prince" dives further into the dark side of trip hop. It's a black hole of a song, sucking everything into itself the longer you listen. It's an impossibly slow song with a drum and bass rhythm and a shoegaze fuzz swirling the entire thing together. The band explains the song:  " Those icy synths for whatever reason made me think of the title and I worked back from that into this idea of what happens to the families of people, specifically men, who do shitty things, especially after they get caught. This one was pretty much totally cut together piece by piece in the studio, not live at all." You can listen to "Nude Prince" below. Unmask Whoever...

Photo by Ebru Yildiz Activity are somewhat of a New York City indie rock supergroup. The band features Travis Johnson and Steve Levine of Grooms, Zoe Browne of Field Mouse, and Jess Rees of Russian Baths. Their single, "Earth Angel," is chill in its vibe but intense in its noise. It's almost a combination of 90's trip hop mixed with 90's noise rock. You get this incredibly compelling mixture of two seemingly opposite genres blended into one sound. Vocalist Travis Johnson explains the song:  " It's a song about the freedom of a lifelong love .  I think we were going for a very Talk Talk 'Laughing Stock' vibe in general. The vocals at the end physically hurt to perform... I could taste blood." You can listen to "Earth Angel" below. Unmask Whoever , the upcoming album from Activity, will be out March 27 on Western Vinyl. You can pre-order the album here . For more on Activity, check them out on Facebook and Twitter .
