Terraform




  • Terraform is a two piece with an eclectic sound who started here in Florida. They recently relocated to New York, but not before they got to grace my ears at a house show here in Gainesville. I would describe it as some sort of jazz infused indie rock. Their sound is characterized by non-distorted guitars, jazzy drums, and smooth vocals with a hint of re-verb, giving them a familiar and vintage feeling. The Live act is on point. The mood moves in a wave through the set, gracefully shifting from spacey beats to unrestrained crescendos. 9977 is a cohesive yet dynamic full length release proving that the duet has spent significant time defining their sound.

Disco Prince


Twinkly emo goodness from one of my favorite places, Tallahassee.



Quiet Steps


Quiet Steps used to play a melodic and screamy sort of emo in the early two thousands. They since have become to sound a little less spastic and more driving. It is cool to see this band releasing material, let alone a full length album after being seemingly inactive for some time. Their sound in this album is dynamic, smooth, and easy to listen to. The release is cohesive, organic, and surprisingly entertaining. Give it a whirl.
