“Sybris hark back to the Smashing Pumpkins model, when bands were interested in making what we used to call the Unified Statement, not rummaging though through genres like a trunk full of costume jewelry, and when roles were more concrete– less instrument swapping, more stability. Sybris’s long songs, tonal contiguity, deliberate pacing, and infectious melodies are more than pleasant but less than bracing– just right. They require no palliative counter-measure, and when the disc ends, there’s no compulsion to rush to the changer– why not just let it spin once more?”- pf
“My favorite new band is actually from Charleston, South Carolina, right next to where we live, and they’re called A Decent Animal. We took them on tour from the West Coast dates we did through the summer, and it’s the first band in a long time where I wanted to watch their set every night. It became superstitious if I didn’t watch their set every night. I don’t know, it’s been a long time since I’d watch a band that many times and didn’t even grow bored with the songs or anything. I just…I love what those guys are doing.”- Ben Bridwell, Band of Horses
