Today, New Jersey emo / alternative band Capillary kick off the year with the release of their debut album, in remembrance, through 51st State Records. Taking influence from bands like Sunny Day Real Estate, Rites Of Spring, Mineral, and Title Fight, you’ll hear strong building melodies, compelling riffs, and poignant vocals. The album was recorded, mixed, and mastered with Justin Bartlett at Studio 4 in Conshohocken, PA (All Under Heaven, Carly Cosgrove) and can be streamed and purchased HERE.
Across the album, Capillary capture the changes of life and reaching self actualization while coming into adulthood. The the ten guitar-driven tracks shift through brighter sing-a-longs and moody retrospectives. Guest features come from Dazey Doom on “impermanence” and Koyo on “plainview.” The grief-stricken “disaster//perspective” gets a music video treatment, which you can watch HERE.
Speaking further on the album, vocalist/guitarist Jake Rubin shares:
“A big theme for the record is growth, then implementing what we learn through that growth and ultimately reaching self actualization – That transgression of growth is how I’d like the meaning of the songs to inspire any listener. I think when songs can shape shift and grow over time, you’re left with something intangibly permanent in your world view – I’ve always appreciated when the artists I like leave me with something potent and that was what I hoped to achieve here.”
Capillary is Jake Rubin – Vocals/Guitar, Brendan Branca – Drums, Colin Salotti – Guitar, Jim Leeds – Bass, and Jake Rubin – Vocals/Guitar.
