About the new single, Bootblacks vocalist Panther Almqvist states: “The person we were in the past often seems unrecognizable. Memories can often seem like scenes from another person's life. There are moments however when we see ourselves in the present and that we realize that we are summation of the experiences of the past and maybe we haven't changed as much as we think we have.”
Thin Skies, Bootblacks' first album for Artoffact Records, zooms forward where its predecessor, Fragments, left off. Produced by Jason Corbett of Artoffact labelmates ACTORS, Thin Skies is a marriage of post-punk emotion and clubland sweat. The nine songs combine a driving, dancefloor pulse with soulful, melodic post-punk, yielding results that are positively anthemic.
Panther Almqvist's brooding voice captivates as it veers from detached cool to deep vulnerability. Guitarist Alli Gorman's hard jangle "channels the trademark delay techniques of [U2's] The Edge," in the words of Post-Punk.com. Keyboardist Barrett Hiatt's arpeggiated synths are the life force pushing the songs relentlessly forward, as Larry Gorman bashes a mix of acoustic and electronic drums with power and perfection. Backing vocals come courtesy of Shannon Hemmett (ACTORS) and Kennedy Ashlyn (SRSQ, Them Are Us Too).
As well as playing shows at every significant venue in its hometown of NYC, Bootblacks has toured North America and Europe, most recently being handpicked by Modern English as direct support for a 2020 North American tour (currently postponed).
