Narrow Head
Narrow Head plays a wonderful combination of shoegaze and grunge, drawing inspiration from 90s/00s high school and coming-of-age influences. Traversing the depths of massive, churning riffs, often distorted to the point of violence, bouncing, lock-grooved rhythms, and crystalline, gorgeously constructed hooks.
The Houston-based outfit puts on a masterclass in the art of writing songs that match the pain, pleasure, and confusion of modern living. Their latest album, Moments of Clarity, is again a languid, gritty, and echoing ode to the strange vicissitudes of modern existence.
