Truthers are a band based in Bushwick, Brooklyn, NY consisting
of Oscar Guinn (Vox / Guitar), Gryphon Graham (Guitar &
Vox), Olivia Hu (Bass & Vox), and Erin Hoagg (Drums / Vox). The
band formed as collaboration between Gryphon (Phone Tag and previous auxiliary
member of DIIV) and Oscar (Baby Birds Don't Drink Milk) while they were both
living together at The Market Hotel. They were initially just collaborating
with one another on their own independent projects, but eventually decided that
it made sense to combine their efforts into something completely new. The material
on their upcoming 7" (written and recorded at The Market
Hotel) is the result of this collaboration. Less than 6 months later,
additional songs were developed, Olivia and Erin were added to the lineup, and
Truthers (a name chosen because of the band
members' collective love for the TV show, X-FIles and Serious
Minutiae) began performing in and around Brooklyn.
"Calm Canaries" is the first track from Truthers'
upcoming 7" Single, which will be out on June 3rd via Bushwick based
label, Glad Tidings From New York. It's a powerful and compelling track that
exemplifies Truthers' ability to create interesting and layered songs that
maintain a cohesive sound that's uniquely their own.
