Soars is a reflection and by-product of Eastern Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley; a fertile creative pool over the past decade, spawning a healthy number of noise/experimental/punk artists, bands, and venues (Brother JT, Pearls & Brass, etc). With NYC and Philadelphia in close proximity, it's all too common for the artist-as-drone to flee one's breeding grounds, leaving the assiduous worker-bees to tend the hive. Comprised of four long-time mainstays of the LV's spirited independent community (members of Memes, Goodnight Stars Goodnight Air, Dark Circles and We Have Heaven), the band's atmospheric scapes of dream-pop are awash with gauzy hints of Cocteau Twins and My Bloody Valentine, propelled by lockstep industrial rhythms. While destroying and rebuilding sonic textures and lyrical myth, Soars mirrors the depth, beauty, and character of their regenerative post-decay rust-belt colony.
Press Quotes
Soars, in their first half-hour on record, do beguiling things with sweetness, distortion and suspense.
—David Fricke, Rolling Stone
Soars' silky and slow burning self-titled album offers an ethereal half hour of aerodynamic, cathartic sounds. Dramatic, elegant dream pop sure to fire neurons in the Slowdive/Bark Psychosis/Talk Talk part of the brain
—The Decibal Tolls
