Them Are Us Too - Remain - Purple Splatter On Clear

Emerging quietly from the California bay area through their limited edition demos and intimate performances, Them Are Us Too gained a cult following within independent music circles as a young, new take on the revered "4AD sound" of dreamy goth-pop anthems. With a nod to 80's shoegaze sensibilities, Them Are Us Too created songs about tragedy and loves-lost that draws devoted listeners to their nostalgic and innocent sound.Kennedy Ashlyn's vocals have been repeatedly compared to Kate Bush, Harriet Wheeler, and Elizabeth Fraser, with a pitch-perfect octave range carrying songs gracefully between optimistic joy down to undisturbed melancholia-all within one moment of verse.Late guitarist Cash Askew paints a layered and complex backdrop using signature reverberation and washes of stringed ambient tones, akin to Robin Guthrie, Ronny Moorings and Kevin Shields. Perfectly executed songwriting with effortless simplicity and vernal drive, Them Are Us Too's debut album, Remain, rivals the comparative magic behind the early 4AD catalog and zeitgeist of early Creation Records.Massive, seraphic sound and heartbreaking nostalgia crafted into 8 songs of uncompromising and immaculately orchestrated beauty.Recorded when both artists were only 21 years of age, Them Are Us Too masked their irrepressible youth underneath their limitless imagination and unparalleled talent, and dedicated themselves fully to their uncanny musical creation.The debut album "Remain" on Dais Records was recorded and produced by Joshua Eustis (Telefon Tel Aviv, Nine Inch Nails, Sons of Magdalene, Black Queen).
