This song just crept in and stole my heart. The vocals are so humble in appearance, at first listen there is a softness, while the depth comes through after a few more takes.
The chorus ” We Still Know” repeated generously, carry a blistering presence and power that is uncommonly passionate and perfectly poised amidst the rockin’ kit and inspired guitar riffs.
Stephen is no stranger to the high-life, appearing as a drummer for John Mayer, Charlie Hunter, and Jesse Malin. This act, supported by his multi-instrumentalist talents, brings a bang and should launch his Dweller EP into some nice company.
The result is Dweller, a six-track EP that will be released on August 6, 2021 by Declared Goods. It blends classic hooks reminiscent of some of power pop’s most iconic songwriters like Matthew Sweet, Ben Kweller, Bobby Bare Jr., Paul Westerberg, Tommy Keene, and Evan Dando. The release will be preceded by two singles from the EP, “All Play No Work” and “Empty Hands” on June 8th and July 8th respectively.
