With the debut EP “Quarters,” San Francisco’s The Soonest delivers intimate indie rock comprised of subtle, angst ridden lyrics, reverb-filled guitar lines and a thunderous rhythm section. The band is quite elusive, and its songs are mysterious and ambient. “Quarters” contains four haunting tracks, with Young (Vocals, Guitar) guiding us through his emotional journey of guilt, denial and exuberant happiness. His vocal style and The Soonest’s Brooklyn sound will please fans of early, moody indie bands such as Interpol. Listen to “Quarters” and catch The Soonest on June 3 at 111 Minna.
