Red Pants Announce Not Quite There Yet

I love Red Pants so much that I had to send them a note to apologize for not getting the track up on Friday when they announced Not Quite There Yet. I spent a lot of time with their last LP, When We Were Dancing, but I’m super impressed with the immediacy of the first single here. Sure, you can definitely hear some Sonic Youth and Yo La Tengo, but I’m going to throw out some late-ear Low nods here. You can feel the noise element playing into the songwriting, but there’s still that almost meditative notion that seeps through the speakers, entrancing you with this brooding blast of rock. Tons of flair coming through too in the end of this jam. Look for the new LP to drop courtesy of Meritorio Records on October 27th
