SOUVENIR DRIVER – “SUNSETS”
High School Records
Portland-based shoegaze band Souvenir Driver are now preview-streaming their new self-titled LP. The upcoming album was recorded by Tommy Dietrick (David J, Drinking Flowers) in an isolated cabin (a-la-Bon-Iver) on Mt. Hood in Oregon, the 8-track release showcases the four-piece bandβs genre-bending sound that blends indie, psychedelic, dream pop, rock and shoegaze. The record was mixed andΒ overdubbedΒ at Trench Studios with Gregg Williams (Blitzen Trapper, Dandy Warhols, Sheryl Crow) and mastered by Timothy Stollenwerk (Grouper, Dead Moon, Crocodiles).
This new album will be the bandβs fourth release and was written during a four month tour hiatus. The band took their cues from a Lou Reed quote and created this new body of work with minimal chords, while putting their focus on the melodies and moods. Themes range from human vulnerability to relationships to nature toβ¦ turtles. Yes, turtles – because of their perception and representation of strength and movement. Separating from the prior albumβs vibe, this new release will have a more breezy, casual energy.
