Midrift Share “Silhouette,” a Riff-Heavy Title Track From Their Debut Album
San Francisco shoegazers Midrift return with "Silhouette," the riff-forward title track from their self-released debut, out 6/5.
Midrift have turned the simmering buzz around their early singles into something louder: today the San Francisco shoegazers returned with the title track from their upcoming debut, “Silhouette.” It lands as a punchy, alt-rock-minded slice of revivalism built on jangling riffs and forward momentum.
The band first turned heads with early tracks “Twin Flames” and “unrequited,” and last month they formally announced the record with the promising, punky lead single “over anything.” Now vocalist and guitarist Gus Mehrkam steps forward on the new cut to sing about the loosened borders between two people:
“The walls between your life and mine should come down.”
There is a confident immediacy to “Silhouette” that makes it feel like a live-room song — guitars pushing, vocal lines insistent — the sort of track that fans will quickly pick apart for hooks and lyrics. The group, self-released, sets the album’s arrival date plainly: Silhouette is out 6/5.
