Activity Share Brooding New Track “I Saw His Eyes,” Final Single From New LP ‘Spirit In The Room’ Out 8/04 (Western Vinyl)
NYC post rock quartet Activity today released “I Saw His Eyes,” the final single previewing their new album Spirit In The Room, out Friday, August 4th via Western Vinyl. The brooding, otherworldly track arrives alongside a Lynchian-but-jocular video, directed by the band’s own Steven Levine. Activity’s Travis Johnson explained the song’s sorrowful inspiration: “My dad got cancer and when I saw him next, the treatments had caused him to waste away. He was slight to begin with and he’d lost like 30 pounds. ‘Hey, under the blinding glare, I’ll meet you there’ is a reference to this book I read called The Great Divorce, and imagining seeing my dad again ‘on the other side.’ An advance apology for all the times I’ve been petty and short and cruel with him. But he got better! And he’s doing okay now, thankfully.”
Eldridge Rodiruguez Share Single “The Strange Things That Happen To People” via New Fury Media | ‘Atrophy’ LP Out 9/15
Atrophy is the fifth full length release from the band Eldridge Rodriguez. The album demonstrates the bands wide range, veering away from the electro-rock and poli-power pop of their last two releases, The Castrati Menace and Slightest of Treason, in favor of a slacker indie feel while still incorporating the noise pop that the band has leaned on for over a decade. The themes on the tracks are more personal this time around focusing on love, loss and the burden of memory. In many ways it’s lighter than previous albums. The band is having a bit more fun while still presenting a brooding exterior.

The lyrics were formed to describe the first time I went to Coney Island. I thought the ecosystem was really beautiful and people seemed really relaxed together. I really needed that kind of environment to clear my head for a while and it was very inspiring.”
