American Trappist Share Nobody’s Laughing, Drop Poison Reverse

Today is the day you can immerse yourself in the splendor of the latest LP from Philly’s American Trappist, offering up a solemn bit of slowcore. I love all the space the band leave in this song, letting the emotion just drop through the speakers and seep into your skin. There’s something about it that reminds me of Mazzy Star in the vocals, even with a male lead as opposed to Hope; it has something to do with the way the notes just kind of hang in the air, floating like bubbles, waiting to pop as the melody hits your ears. Give Poison Reverse a listen and let the slow burn start your weekend.
