Details: Makaras Pen walks the line between shoegaze and
indie rock with a strong dynamic of crushing guitars
and delicate female vocals. Doug White founder,
guitarist, and songwriter from Projekt s now-disbanded
Tearwave gathers a new group of fantastic musicians
to continue the sonic journey he began just a few
years ago. Building on Tearwave s sound, and shoegaze
elements made popular in the late 80s and early 90s
by bands like Lush, Slowdive, and the Cocteau Twins,
Makaras Pen adds the twists and turns of an aggressive
indie rock band to create an electric, intense, and
startlingly fresh new perspective on these genres.
On their self-titled debut, Makaras Pen crafts 11 songs
with creative heartfelt lyrics and passionate vocals from
Emma Willis, walls of wailing guitars from Doug White
and Jon Nemi, lush melodic bass lines from Val Hill,
and textured driving drums from Dennis Caswell. Jeff
Kandefer, from Clairecords dream pop/shoegaze band
The Daysleepers, provides guest vocals on Envy and
Lust. Doug White recorded and produced all of The
Daysleepers CDs, so it was a natural fit to incorporate
Kandefer s distinct, instantly recognizable vocals into
Makaras Pen s music.
