Innerlove
June 9, 2023Long Island, NY's indie/emo band Innerlove have announced their debut full length album, Roscoe, set for release on June 9th via Refresh Records. Building off their indie and emo roots, the band work in elements of Americana to create a unique sound across the ten tracks. Opener and lead single, “Ain’t Who I Wanna Be,” streaming below, showcases Innerlove’s talent for creating dynamic songs with twangy vocals and inspiring tempo changes, while the second single "10 in the Morning" from the forthcoming LP blend Americana and bouncy indie pop with twangy guitars that sway from soft to dynamic and vocals to match. The song addresses vices that stem from loneliness and depression, and the feelings that come alongside it.
Formed in 2019 in the wake of other projects, Innerlove is a collaboration of music and long-time friendship. The band made their debut in 2020 with the EP, Fine By Me, followed by a string of singles, evoking a bright and emotional sound. On Roscoe, the quartet has created an expansive sonic palette, drawing influences from artists like The Weakerthans, Weatherbox, Another Michael, and Anthony Green. Their first full-length feels like a real introduction, weaving country-tinged riffs and vocals with pop rock melodies and personable lyrics. The whole of it is a confident step forward for a band that’s always shown potential. It’s clear, after listening through the record, that this is exactly who Innerlove wants to be.
