Soars Dips and Floats at KFN Aug. 17

Lehigh Valley natives Soars undoubtedly deserve the buzz surrounding their forthcoming debut album. Set to release next month, the outfit’s self-titled full-length includes their recent single “Throw Yourself Apart”, a gorgeous gloomy soundscape with haunting echoed vocals and tide like riffs. Persistent yet subtle backbeats propel the pulse of the song, while delicately placed distortion aids in its ebb and flow. “Five Seconds Under Dark Circles” is both breathy and well-pronounced, deliberately layered and impeccably textured. Soars’ sound nears supernatural, engulfing the listener in an eerie pool of delay and reverb. Suitably titled, “Monolith” is solid between symphonic shifts and emphasis. Proving to be a wealth of talent hidden in their humble hometown area, Soars’ dreamy shoegaze is perfect for the soon-to-be last days of summer. They’ll be opening for LA trio The Delta Mirror and depressed duo The Ropes. Kung Fu Necktie. 1250 Front St., 8pm, $10, 21+ – Dianca Potts
