All These Shapes, All These Days

Album Info

Release Date: 2023

Label: Landland Colportage

Achings' debut release "All These Shapes, All These Days" claims a meeting point between 1980's new-wave staples Cocteau Twins, Kate Bush, Blondie, and the intricate multi-guitar work of 1990s DIY rental hall indie rock bands like The Van Pelt, Karate, and arguably Slint.

With locks and loops of flourished minor key arpeggios, analog synth washes, and filthy post-punk bass lines, Joy's cutting prose and urgent vocals grapple with themes of letting go of what is existentially old and damaged, carving out a place in a troubled world, and the ever-shifting nature of our varied human connections. The end result—songs like 'Undoing Home', 'Friends in Far Places', and "The Rows"—will feel simultaneously familiar and in defiance of those very eras.
