Mid-Michigan melodic alt-rock band Silktail returns with their strongest release to date, A Better Place Than Me. The five-song EP, recorded at Bricktop Recording with producer Andy Nelson, finds the band sharpening their sound through raw frustration and honest self-expression.
Drawing influence from legendary emo predecessors like Hey Mercedes, Knapsack, and Seaweed, Silktail would feel right at home on timeless compilations such as Dragging the Lake or Revelation Records: In-Flight Program.
Further, Silktail channels a sense of ‘90s nostalgia while keeping their sound firmly rooted in the present. The EP blends hook-heavy songwriting with slacker-rock textures and blown-out guitars reminiscent of Dinosaur Jr., Built to Spill, and Pavement, balanced by a melodic pop sensibility akin to Superdrag and Jimmy Eat World.
Silktail releases the A Better Place Than Me EP on CD, digital, and 12” vinyl with a screen printed b-side via Setterwind Records on April 3.
