Exciting news! Pre-orders for Stagnant Pools' new album, Geist, are up now on our E-store. The album will be released 6/10 on CD, LP (clear vinyl), cassette (blue tape), and digital formats.
Following the release of their debut full-length Temporary Room in the fall of 2012, Stagnant Pools embarked on several high profile tours supporting the likes of David Bazan, Maximo Park, Cymbals Eat Guitars, Japandroids and more.
All that time spent on the road exposed brothers Bryan (guitar/vocals) and Douglass Enas (drums) to a world outside their Indiana-based upbringing and introduced them to a slew of like-minded people. The experience of playing so many shows also gave the sibling duo a fresh perspective on their strengths and weaknesses as a band, feedback the pair took to heart while spending last year working on new material.
The result is Geist. Ten songs recorded live to tape by Matt Talbottt (Hum) that refines and expands on a shoegaze-meets-noise pop sound that has previously drawn comparisons to Joy Divison, Sonic Youth, and The Jesus and Mary Chain.
