In all the nostalgic nods in the scene right now, I think I’ve found the piece I like the most: the new single from Hausu. This Portland act is slated to release their new record, Total, on Hardly Art on June 25th, and it’s got great promise. I like the intricate guitar opening on this song, but it only last for a short bit before the band jumps off into, dare I say, and emo realm. But, this is the sort of emo that we all loved, back before it became a four letter word. It combines elements of heavier rock moments between melodic guitar chords and discordant noise. Definitely something on my “to fall in love with” list.
