Eggshells - In the Background (MP3)
Local artist Eggshells is a tough egg to crack. From the remnants of previous bands In Praise of Folly and Can the Boy Tell Time, singer/songwriter Peter Verdoes ventures out with the aptly-titled debut, LP1. Verdoes calls upon his siblings Benjamin (Iska Dhaaf/Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band) and Marshall (Scarves/Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band) for support on the new release, plus, Sam Miller (Ravenna Woods/Sean Nelson/Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band) and Matthew Dammer (Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band/In Praise of Folly). Iska Dhaaf's other half Nathan Quiroga makes a special guest appearance, as well.
True to such an eclectic collection of musicians, the sound of Eggshells is a scramble of trip-hop and garage rock, with a psych-rock feel. Today's Song of the Day is a laid-back electronic groove with an impressive range of vocals. Crack open Eggshells on Facebook and Twitter, and check out more music on Bandcamp.
