Multi-Weekly Wrap-Up 06.14.23

To make up for Bored In Pittsburgh’s inactivity over the past several weeks–which were spent moving a bunch of stuff from one apartment to another–here’s an extra long look at some local music that hit the spot recently

###

A soul-baring computer rock suite that rides sweeping guitars and twinkling beeps through passage after passage of raw, digitized feeling.

A wonky, detuned instrumental that embodies the experience of walking through a space station after taking NyQuil.

Braggadocious bars spat dismissively and crooned smoothly over hazy melodies and blown-out bass.

Skyscraping daydreamery chock full of echoing guitars, dramatic drum fills, and accusatory lyrics inspired by The Handmaid’s Tale.

Wistful back-porch toe-tapper built around rickety banjo plucks and an earwormy curl of guitar, punctuated by a few weary “whoo”s.

Churning, roiling metal that pummels the ears with charred riffs and bloodcurdling howls.

Eerie, droning incantations that sound like they were recorded from the bottom of a hole bored deep into the earth.
