They are heavily influenced by the likes of The Cure, The Smashing Pumpkins, and Slowdive, but that only scratches the surface. In a review of their second album, Happy In Here, it is stated that “even with these comparisons and any accuracy they could possess, Keep are a band that’s not only cut their own sort of path, but have become quite seasoned at it.” Their music has spanned a number of genres over the years, but most often falls under the banner of shoegaze. Regardless of specific distinctions, Keep sits firmly in the web of alternative rock music. Audiotree aptly described the sound as “grand and majestic”, adding that it is “ensconced in an all consuming\u003cbr\u003emist of heavy noise.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKeep is a band that is tried and true. With over ten years of experience, three albums, a host ofEP’s, and countless tours (both stateside and abroad) under their belt, they are only just hitting their stride.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eAlmost Static\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003ewill be the defining Keep record, as the many influences that the band has historically displayed are pieced together in a more seamless manner than they’ve ever been. Additionally, the band branches into new territory on tracks like Smile Down (Into Nothing), Bermuda, and Almost Static.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an album built for long hours spent in the car which is frequently reflected in the lyrics. Almost Static explores many of thoughts that might cross one’s mind on such expansive journeys. It’s a driving and anthemic record that navigates the meandering nature of a world that won’t slow down. It’s a soundtrack for hurtling further and further into oblivion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecording sessions for the album were split between Electrical Audio in Chicago and Earth Analog in Tolono, Illinois. It was produced and engineered by Zac Montez (Whirr, Cloakroom) who helmed the previous two Keep releases. As for the future, the band plans to tour extensively in support of Almost Static. This will kick off with a string of dates supporting Turnover on their 10th anniversary tour for Peripheral Vision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACK LIST:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1        Fun Facts    2:32\u003cbr\u003eA2        Smile Down (Into Nothing)    3:56\u003cbr\u003eA3        Decoy    2:02\u003cbr\u003eA4        Bermuda    3:32\u003cbr\u003eA5        New Jewelry    4:12\u003cbr\u003eB1        Almost Static    3:33\u003cbr\u003eB2        No Pulse    2:00\u003cbr\u003eB3        Sodawater    3:45\u003cbr\u003eB4        Gasoline    3:56\u003cbr\u003eB5        Touch Tone Tab    0:53\u003cbr\u003eB6        Hurt A Fly    2:43\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SIGNAL\/\/NOISE RECORDS","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":44349053993059,"sku":"199874255224","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/2553\/7123\/files\/Image_af9e0557-31d4-41e3-b5c0-1bd94de6d175.jpg?v=1783860036","url":"https:\/\/lunchboxrecords.com\/products\/199874255224","provider":"Lunchbox Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
