Stream Somerset EP on OpenAir Now
By: Caryn Robbins Feb. 10, 2014
Somerset Catalog is a bubble gum doom pop outfit from Denver, Colorado. The band makes music that moves between desperate longing and loud resignation, creating music with a bit of a (welcomed) personality disorder. They layer multiple vocals over driving rhythms and allow synth hooks to peek between shimmering guitars, and the connective tissue of the band is a reverence for melody and meaningful lyrics. (They also like each other a great deal--and whiskey helps.)
