The Pauses - "Hands Up": SXSW 2012 Showcasing Artist
Despite amassing a following, scene status, and praise from regional press right out of the gate, Orlando indie-rock band The Pauses release their debut album A Cautionary Tale after only about, oh, TWO YEARS of existence. The official excuse is something about wanting do to things "properly." So they saved money through a successful Kickstarter campaign (a marvel since their fans' bank accounts have a perfectly inverse relationship with their obvious wealth in taste) and headed up to Baltimore to record their proper debut at Magpie Cage Studios with the legendary J. Robbins (Jawbox, Burning Airlines), even enlisting three-quarters of the dude's own band. His wife, too? Sure, why not. Produced, engineered, and mixed by Robbins, mastered by TJ Lipple (Aloha) and featuring guest appearances from members of Deleted Scenes, Office of Future Plans and Channels, A Cautionary Tale is an exercise in complexion and combination, a world where guitars are BFFs with synthesizers, horns, bells, and ukuleles. Simply put, The Pauses got mad range, often in the same song. Rooted in the dynamics and ethos of '90s indie rock, their sound is a balancing act between rock and electronics, airiness and heft, suppleness and angularity. An album that you can explore without losing your core. So, with appropriately twirly hand motion, we introduce The Pauses: Tierney Tough (vocals, Rhodes, bass) Jason Kupfer (ukulele, Rhodes, piano, guitar, footbells, electronics) Nathan Chase (percussion, drums) From: sxsw Views: 113 10 ratings Time: 02:40 More in Entertainment
