DOWNWARD Sign To Pure Noise Records – Band Re-Release The Album 'DOWNWARD II' Featuring Two New Songs

Shoegaze, indie rock band Downward, can today announce their signing to Pure Noise Records. To celebrate this singing, there will be a re-release of their album 'Downward II' in a deluxe physical format. This re-release will also include with two brand new songs, 'Get Some' and 'Drawl' that are released on streaming services today. On top of that, they will also be pressing the bands debut 'The Brass Tax' EP on vinyl, with previously unreleased bonus tracks.

Formed while Richardson and Pugh were still at school, Downward evolved quickly from what they themselves termed a “kind of shitty in a cool way” shoegaze band, into the band who captured themselves on 'Downward II'—a dark, paranoid and lugubrious reflection of reality that seeps into your bones from the moment opener “Request Made” kicks things off. Beautiful yet simultaneously unsettling, these are songs that, on paper, should offer some kind of soothing comfort, but which instead combine to make you question your entire existence. In a cool way.

Recorded and engineered by Kendal Osborne at The Closet Studios in Tulsa, the album 'Downward II' — which was made with guitarist Hunter Senft, who has since left the band — leaves a deep and dark impression that’s hard to shake once you’ve heard it. Poetic yet unabashedly honest, these songs are pure catharsis, subtle yet powerful expressions of self on which form completely mirrors function, guitars exploding like breaking hearts after quiet whispered confessions build up to breaking point.
