Those who prefer jangle pop wrapped in indie rock or shoegaze influences will feel right at home with American indie band Smalltalk. Shelby Bock (vocals), Andy Keith (guitar), Bryce Edwards (bass) and Cameron Driver (drums) have just released their sophomore EP As If, featuring six songs in which bright guitar jangles and confident vocals blend into more noisy and hazy layers of heavy riffs, haunting drum rolls and cinematic soundscapes. Original and inspired, mysterious and mesmerizing.

As If, recorded by Chris “Scary” Adams, is out now digitally, on cassette and CD, trough Candlepin Records and Pleasure Tapes.
