Slowcore trio lobby (consisting of members of Goat Girl and leather.head) have dropped their new single, ‘folding out’. It’s an atmospheric cut from the outset, with emo-inspired dual vocals opening up above a widescreen, rainy accompaniment. Musically, it’s a true journey of a track, with Slint-esque guitars being joined by airy saxophones, reverb-drenched strings and the distant strum of a banjo to form a uniquely twisty sonic universe that kicks into a manic overdrive in its climactic last moments. They explain: “It’s about the desire to watch the layers someone has built up, unfold, to reveal the core of who they are, and the unquestioning support needed for that process to occur.” lobby’s self-released debut EP, nightdriving, drops on November 1st, 2024. Catch them live around the UK in October. -Dan Peeke
