Guitarist seeks vocalist/musicians for atmospheric/minimal indie (East London)

joefm [Edit] [Delete] 15:10, 25 February '13

Hello. I play guitar and I've written some songs for a new project. I'd like to find some people to help get them to a point where we can play them live and record.

Some demos are on Soundcloud here: http://snd.sc/Y5t2tS

They're quite rough, but they should give you an idea of what I'm aiming for. Genre-wise I guess they're some kind of atmospheric/minimal indie but there's some post-rock/ambient/math/post-hardcore influences in there as well.

I think they need vocals. I'm open to other ideas but I was thinking something rant/talk-y, a bit spoken word, in the style of mewithoutyou or La Dispute, might work.

The set-up on the demos is pretty much just two guitars, bass and drums, so on top of a vocalist I'm looking for an additional guitarist, a bassist and a drummer.

Here are some references for the vocals I mentioned:

mewithoutyou - Torches Together

La Dispute - A Departure
http://nosleepsampler.com/track/a-departure
Listener - Falling In Love With Glaciers
http://listener.bandcamp.com/track/falling-in-love-with-glaciers-2

And here are some general references/influences for music:

The Appleseed Cast - Blind Man's Arrow
http://deepelmdigital.com/track/blind-mans-arrow-3
Port St. Willow - Hollow
http://music.portstwillow.com/track/hollow
Jeniferever - The World Is Hollow And I Have Touched The Sky
http://open.spotify.com/track/3U1OqXFhtYRLiSZEavgXCU
This Will Destroy You - Black Dunes
https://soundcloud.com/monotreme-records/this-will-destroy-you-black
Pianos Become The Teeth - Cripples Can't Shiver
http://pianosbecometheteeth.bandcamp.com/track/cripples-cant-shiver

I'm based in Hackney and I'm 26, so someone in/around their mid-20s would probably be best. Drop me a mail if you're interested.
Thanks.
