The Okay Win keep going forward with ‘Nothing’s Not Moving’

You can’t replicate the rawness of recording an album in a garage. Released on April 15, The Okay Win’s Nothing’s Not Moving kicks off with the slow burning “Shift” before picking things up with the catchy number “In A Way.” The lazy, laid back vibe of “The Glass” is perfect for a beach barbeque, and the song switches things up with main vocalist Stephen MacDonald handing off vocal duties to percussionist Adam McElreath. Later, on “Legion (When Coming Home),” noodling guitars wrap themselves around MacDonald’s barebones vocal melody. Make sure to catch the Bostonites at the Arts Marathon at OnStage Dance Company in Somerville this Saturday, May 3, or celebrate the record’s release with the band at Cambridge’s T.T. the Bear’s on May 17. – Jake Reed, @jakejreed
