Los Angeles based band Brass Box is creating a fresh brand of noisy shoegaze that is equally atmospheric as it is melodic - a sound that immediately casts listeners into a sea of velvet and thorns annexed by an indomitable wave of swirling guitars and shimmering harmonies.The band is the collective effort of singer and bassist Ammo Banko (Tête, Black Flamingo), guitarist Neil Popkin (War Tapes, Rituals), guitarist Matt Bennett (War Tapes), and drummer Pablo Amador (Rituals, Magic Wands). Their first EP 'Ivory Skies' from 2016 was met with critical success from notable critics, with Buzzbands.LA calling its compositions "a proper sound bath in both melody and noise," and DoLA describing their uniquely goth pop as "drenched in macabre imagery and poetic goth themes." With the upcoming release of their debut LP 'The Cathedral' the band will solidify their spot as one of LA's finest purveyors of a genre they define as dream goth.
