Omaha, NE (Top40 Charts/ Saddle Creek) - The sophomore record from Ladyfinger (ne), Dusk, is out now...as of today, actually! Put simply, it rocks. The 10 song set takes the power Ladyfinger showed on their debut and expands to create a much more diverse record.
The band has announced the first stretch of tour dates leading up to SXSW, including a few shows with Cursive. Check out the dates below.
Current tracks available for stream or download on any sites or podcasts are:
- A.D.D.
- Little Things
There is also a video in the works for Little Things, which will be done very soon.
Press for Dusk is being worked by Saddle Creek. Please drop a line to [email protected] with any questions you may have. Music, interviews and guest list spots for shows are available!
Dusk is Ladyfinger (ne) at the peak of their powers, with one foot in the sounds of early 70's classic rock and another in the punk and hardcore scenes of the late 80's and early 90's. Recorded once again with Matt Bayles (Mastodon, Minus the Bear, Isis), this is a more diverse and refined though no less intense collection of songs than their debut-witness Chris Machmuller's confidence in his vocals grow exponentially and Pat Oakes' powerhouse drums finding a firmer root to propel every snare hit and bass kick. An album clearly born of playing local dives and national tours over the last couple of years, Dusk is a statement of intent. The dynamics of each song and across the album are more evident, from the opening 1-2 punch of ''Over and Over'' and the bass growl of ''A.D.D.,'' through the sharp riffs and aggressiveness of ''Work Party,'' the plaintive ''Plans,'' and into the hit-in-the-making ''Let's Get Married.''
