State Shirt sculpts fiery, intense indie rock anthems for the wondering, wandering and hopeful.

Venturing wildly into the farthest corners of heavy-hearted American landscapes, State Shirt’s music displays vivid, gripping stories of nostalgia, despair and hope. From Southern California’s droning and faceless San Fernando Valley to the snowy back roads of Western Massachusetts. Steeped in a cycle of inescapable, mind-numbing full-time jobs, State Shirt relies on hand-built loops, neglected instruments and riveting vocals to artfully describe captivity in a familiar never-ending cycle: work, drink, sleep, repeat.

But, through it all, a glimmer of hope shines.

From a modest bedroom sanctuary devoted to writing and recording, sparkles of surreal, melancholic melodies bubble up. Voltage runs through a collection of dusty pedals, guitars and electronics to deliver This Is Old, State Shirt’s deeply textured second album, a set of swirling and burning indie-tronic statements proving that monotonous lives can produce exceptional results.

Et d'abord, ce n'est pas si vieux que ça...Le titre de l'album est trompeur. Rien qu'en penchant l'oreille l'espace de quelques minutes, on se rend compte de cette absurdité : no, it's not old ! C'est même un son jeune, explosif, mélangeant habilement originalité et décalage sonore avec une voix pop des plus standards, mais des plus belles aussi. Alors, quand tous les ingrédients sont réunis, avec en prime des mélodies parfaitement structurées et qui donnent de très bons morceaux pop, il n'y a plus qu'à savourer.

Beats with a Kick+lyric that punch and little riff tune that gets stuck in your head=equals art that makes you sing and dance while your walking in a sunny afternoon.

Someone recommended me listening to STate Shirt and I really like what I'm hearing! You sum up a lot of the things I have loved in rock and pop over the last decades. It is so nice to hear someone blending all these lovely sonic attitudes in his own original songs! To name a few associations I'm having while listening, it's like experiencing the melodic qualities of Pet Shop Boys smacked up by the frenetic live noise unleashed by Blur at their heydays. Then add a little melancholy to that. Yes, I really like the State Shirt brew!

To nowe, świeże, ciekawe brzmienie rocka. Artysta umie grać i śpiewać, teksty mają sens, wstawki elektroniczne nie dominują, tylko uzupełniają utwory - żadnego umpa-umpa, żadnych prymitywnych miksów i sampli. Wysoce profesjonalna robota. PS. I plus za okładkę.
