Feb 17, 2016Neo, the Seattle group’s debut, is as painfully Sub Pop as it gets, and it’s painful in a wonderful, wonderful way.
-
Feb 19, 2016Ultimately, what So Pitted have--besides a name derived from a YouTube video of a surfer waxing poetic about a perfect wave--is the discovery of a rad tunnel of sound where noise and melody can high five each other with impunity.
-
Feb 24, 2016Feeling comfortable is not something neo, and by extension So Pitted, is concerned with. Instead, exploration of the darkness and sickness of life are the key drivers and if neo is any indication, it is pretty compelling material.
-
Feb 9, 2016neo bathes in worries, stresses, breakdowns, and doubts. It’s not always pleasant, but necessary for identifying the worst of ourselves before it’s too late and everything implodes.
-
Mar 9, 2016While a lack of editing and consistency may keep neo from being better than promising, the energized rush of holding the void and hyper-melodic the sickness deliver two of the album’s best moments, the latter being the most successful synthesis of So Pitted’s want of strange and aggro.
-
Feb 19, 2016At its best, Neo transcends redundancy with raw power, but it remains to be seen whether or not the band can find their own voice amid the maelstrom.
-
Feb 9, 2016Yet, while neo does hark back to the logger-heavy, plaid-clad revolution from the Pacific North-West, it rarely sounds wearily derivative.
