With Mother Nature seemingly on a mission to tear the world around us apart, why not enjoy a fresh track that packs just as much weight as the weather? Last week, local post hardcore sect Dowager announced the approaching release of their second EP, Title Track, and subsequently shared its first single "Sleep Paralysis."
‘Dowager fever’ is quickly spreading around the states for quite good reason. They have somewhat a nostalgic approach to the genre, so if you’re wise on the ways of hardcore/metalcore/awesome from the early 2000’s, then you’ll understand. As if a premiere on Stereogum wasn’t proof enough, they’ve even landed on this week’s Top Songs of the Week for Consequence of Sound, further confirming their received national attention.
Give "Sleep Paralysis" a listen below and be sure to stop Dowager’s only October set tomorrow for drummer Ben Scott’s birthday at Valentines. Title Track is due out just after Thanksgiving on 11/25.
