About this product
Them Are Us Too was formed in the Bay Area by friends Kennedy Ashlyn and Cash Askew in 2012 after meeting at school. They quickly gained a cult following as word spread about their youthful, innocent and fresh take on the revered 80s dream pop and shoegaze sound. Kennedy Ashlyn's voice was immediately compared to Elizabeth Fraser and Kate Bush, while Cash Askew's washes of intricate guitar felt akin to Robin Guthrie and Kevin Shields. Tragically, Cash Askew passed away in the Ghost Ship fire in Oakland in December of 2016, sending a shockwave of loss through our community. While Kennedy Ashlyn would eventually emerge as a solo artist through her project SRSQ, there were unfinished Them Are Us Too recordings and demos that Kennedy and those close to Cash felt deserved be heard in her memory.Kennedy returned to the studio with producer Joshua Eustis (Telefon Tel Aviv), Sunny Haire (Cash's stepfather), Matia Simovich (INHALT), and Anya Dross (Cash's girlfriend) to complete unfinished demos and sketches, write new compositions, and honor Cash Askew. The result is InchAmendsInch, a collection of songs that would have been the second Them Are Us Too record, an amendment to a catalogue cut short.

Vinyl LP pressing, includes . Amends dwells in the intricacies of relationships - broken bonds between friends, family, and lovers - and hoping to heal. A contemplation on loss and forgiveness, the album volleys between the perspectives of D'Agustino and co-songwriter/lead guitarist Andrew Wolfson. The 11 tracks deal with universal themes including the tension of family, loss, and learning to move on without resentment (Amends, Lighthouse), breakups (Unwind With Me), anxieties (Downstairs), and hope for the future (Silver Screen). As a whole, Amends represents Active Bird Community's efforts to contend honestly with the pain of their experiences and explore the empowering nature of forgiveness. Active Bird Community's 2017 album, Stick Around, was self-released last year and hailed as a scrappy punk slugfest rife with immediate post-college strugglesInch (Billboard), and superb... full of addicting cutsInch (Earmilk). The band - who have been playing together since middle school - recently played a sold-out show at Brooklyn's Knitting Factory as part of Northside Festival, have toured with artists including Cymbals Eat Guitars and We Were Promised Jetpacks, and performed at festivals including Panorama and Audiotree. Active Bird Community are Tom Agustino (vocals, guitar), Andrew Wolfson (vocals/lead guitar), Quinn McGovern (drums), and Zach Slater (bass).
Vinyl LP pressing. At the heart of Mothertapes' music lies vivid melodic themes, heavy beats, and rich layers of programmed and live-looped instrumentation wrapped around intense guitar hooks and vocals. A live Mothertapes performance is an impressive show of workmanship in which Bosack and Franzen build each song from the ground up, creating the sonic footprint of a much larger band. Rather than ceding control to the bloodless clockwork of sequenced loops, the band breathes life into the technology, eliciting an elastic, dynamic quality that has drawn the admiration of critics and earned the band a loyal following.
