Daze of Summer Band #9: Semaphore
Day 9 brings us to Semaphore. This Brooklyn, NY Post-Shoegaze Rock band has some funky and hypnotic vibes going in their music. Certainly a number of you music lovers will find their sound interesting and enjoyable.
The band released a 5 track EP titled ‘Leave with the Season’ on February 22, 2019.
The band talks about the album: “Leave With the Season” was born from the frustration we feel as we navigate the social scenes of Brooklyn. Sometimes we cannot be sure if we can trust our emotions, our friends, or the city we live in since all these things inevitably fail us in one way or another.
I find myself manifesting a culture I dislike – a culture of always searching for the most one can get out of another person or an experience. Utilitarianism guides the way we pick our friends and the way we spend our days and evenings, and yet, when we are unhappy, we start to hope that everything around us will change to accommodate us. When this doesn’t happen and we’re left with the same mundane lives, we can’t help but feel scorned, even if we’ve put no effort into changing ourselves.
This cathartic EP is best listened to with headphones as you make your way around town in the cold.”
