Eagerly anticipated, and out now is Chicago trio Lifeguard’s debut album Ripped and Torn via Matador Records.
The trio of Asher Case (bass, baritone guitar, vocals), Isaac Lowenstein (drums, synth), and Kai Slater (guitar, vocals) have been making music together since they were in high school, nearly a quarter of their lives. Noisy and immediate, cryptic but heartfelt, they draw inspiration from punk, dub, power-pop and experimental sounds, and bring them all together in explosive cacophony.
Praise for Lifeguard
“Strong riffs and rhythmic chops have flourished into more experimental impulses and an embrace of even weirder and more wonderful detours and derailments.” – Treble (Album of the Week)
“Some of the year’s tightest, catchiest rock songs, full of hooks that will ricochet around your head all summer.” – Rolling Stone (“Artist You Need to Know”)
“Lifeguard may conjure sounds of the past but crucially, they make the future seem more exciting for their existence.” – FADER
