Nethers

Washington DC's Nethers plays story-songs of doomed canaries, heiresses hiding from plagues, and parades at sea. In February, the band packed up their former-Quaker-high-school van and drove to the foothills of their adopted-home region of central Virginia. It was there that they rendezvoused with engineer/wunderkind Marshall Costan to record an LP., During a week's time, Nethers committed to tape funereal forest-marches and warm, early-evening lullabies, haunting culling songs and an orphan's lament, soundtracks of crashing waves, etc. etc. The result is In Fields We Will Lie, a beautiful, spectral album blending pop, country, and psych, carried by Nikki West's voice and shaped by undercurrents of dread and joy.
