Massage will release a new EP in early 2022 called Lane Lines, following Still Life, which just released this August.
The pandemic and related schedule changes of recent times helped to inspire the quicker turnaround.
“The songs on Still Life and Lane Lines seem to straddle the line between indie and pop without exactly being ‘indie pop,’" says guitarist/vocalist Andrew Romano. “To me they feel more like descendents (sic) of ‘college rock’ — a moment that lasted from about 1986 to 1991, right before the underground and the mainstream converged, when it seemed like any scrappy indie band might stumble across a hit.”
The full lineup of the group includes Alex Naidus (guitar, vocals, former Pains of Being Pure at Heart), Romano, Gabrielle Ferrer (keyboards, percussion, vocals), David Rager (bass), and Natalie de Almeida (drums). The band is playing at The Starlet Room in Sacramento, CA, tonight.
