Extra Space Share Something Strange

February 13, 2026 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I was completely fooled by the cover art on the new Extra Space LP; it looks and feels like you’re going to get something in the vein of post-punk, something sharp and angular. But, the band are more of a sort of pastoral brand of indie rock, akin to what you’d hear on a record by the Clientele, only with a little more precision and less fogginess. Vocals are quiet, hanging on the edge of the mix like they could drop out at any time here; this method, along with the drifting nature of the music is like a witch’s beckoning finger, calling you into the confines of the track, mesmerizing you with the melodic movement permeating your soul. Look for New Colors to drop on April 24th.

Extra Space Share Never Wanted

September 19, 2025 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Brooklyn outfit Extra Space caught my ear this morning they shared the latest track from their New Colors LP. In a sense, it fits into that sort of softened new indie, particularly with the velvety quality of the vocal, though the musical side takes on a little more of an artistic churn. The guitar notes sort of twist and twinkle, each one seemingly bent around one corner or another, with a little bit of electricity built into the back end of the tune as they shoot off into an instrumental close. Their new LPis being released next week, so keep your ears open!

Noisy Number from Exwife

May 21, 2013 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

When this track from Exwife begins, it seems like you might be in for a drifting bit of post-rock, featuring ambling guitars and distant vocals. But, as it heads into the 2 minute mark, walls of distortion are inserted, then pulled back. In the end, the song begins to fade, with atmospheric noise circling the listener’s ears as the song draws to a close. I like the sense of brooding and danger that rides throughout. You can hear this song on the group’s upcoming New Colors LP, which hits stores on May 28th, courtesy of Evil Weevil Records.
