Interlay are back with a new EP, and this one hits deep. The Chicago crew deal in noise-caked, melodic post-hardcore, the kind of blustery stuff you might file under shoegaze if you're feeling generous. Today they announced their third EP, Snow Covers Your Insides, a record pulling its title straight from Sylvia Plath. Lead single "Silo" is the first taste, and it's a stunner.
Those dramatic falsetto vocals soar over a grandiose doom-and-gloom haze, and it lands somewhere near Sunny Day Real Estate's How It Feels To Be Something On from 1998. If you loved Knifeplay at their most epically melodramatic, this track is built for you. The band has been sharpening this sound across their earlier EPs, and "Silo" feels like the moment it all locks in.
Big feelings, bigger guitars. There's real craft in how Interlay balance the crushing weight with genuine melody underneath.
This is a band hitting their stride, and "Silo" is proof.
