Hide and Shine | The Warp/The Weft

Music at 8 PM. No cover!

Hide and Shine:
The songs of Hide and Shine seem unusual but feel so familiar—like nostalgia that you can’t quite put your finger on. The band’s first description was “An Art Death Indie Post-Punk Country Rock Alternative.” Record store addicts determined that the music had the raw, literary punk of The Replacements, the sweet monstrous attack of Dinosaur Jr., the dark introspection of Radiohead, and noticeable nods to grunge, classic metal, classic country and classic rock. The music is “laden with a punk attitude, but nonetheless spiritually inclined.” The lyrics often hint at esoteric themes. There is also a deep note of social empathy, but it never emerges as “political.” It’s more concerned with humanity and buried under poetry.

The Warp/The Weft:
The Warp/The Weft centers itself amid rock, psych-folk, and progressive styles to create impassioned music that's at once winter-cold and wool-warm. Since 2012 and on three albums, The Warp/The Weft has blended poetic lyrics and "spirit-conjuring" tenors, which led psych-folk legend Tom Rapp (Pearls Before Swine) to ask, "Can I have your voice when you're through with it?" The band is at work on its fourth LP.
