Moments of Matter

• Track Listing

Comprised of brothers Dave Taha (guitar/vocals) and Matt Taha (bass/backing vocals), and childhood friend Nick Riley (drums), Cleveland's Filmstrip is a band that has grown together both literally and figuratively. Interpersonal intimacy coupled with years of incessant self-booked touring, is the recipe for an album that sounds at once both completely new, but at the same time comfortable and easy: like a favorite record that's been on your shelf for years. Though heavily rooted in DIY culture, Filmstrip is a band whose sound has evolved well past their simple punk rock origins. Imagine if the Meat Puppets (another brother band) circa 1985 teamed up with the indie-psych-folk styling's of Pink Mountaintops, and was informed by an upbringing heavily steeped in the Maximum rock n roll ethos. Do this and you can begin to approximate the beautifully fractured take on the American Songbook presented here on MOMENTS OF MATTER.
