Skymender: If and Only (Orange Vinyl LP)

The debut full-length from Washington, D.C.–based Skymender. If and Only is a shoegaze-forward album that blends elements of post-punk, post-rock, emo, and dream pop into an immersive, layered sound built around dual vocals from Ashley Scurto and Kenny Grose.

The album was engineered, mixed, and co-produced by J. Robbins at Magpie Cage Studios in Baltimore.

“This debut LP comes 30–35 years after U.K. shoegaze’s heyday… a dreampop ‘everything bagel,’ nodding to Valentine and Cocteau Twins–era textures while grounding itself in something distinctly its own.” — Big Takeover Magazine
