What can you say about a band like Phoenix’s Tripaw’d? They’re one of those acts where the music simply speaks for itself. “Cagohhongue” is a slowcore, shoegaze dirge, full of a simple, seven-note melody that sprawls out across its three-minute spread. There’s walls of sound, there’s feedback, there’s guitar noodling… But most importantly, there’s sincerity. This is the work of a band who got in a room and banged something out. It makes us miss sweaty basement shows. Check it out below via Bandcamp, or swing over to Spotify if that’s more your thing.
