Everyday Separation

RESTOCK. Local six-piece outfit and musical idealists with global aspirations, ABSINTHE BLIND, have created a collection of genius pop songs populating epic soundfields, akin to Brit-pop darlings Travis and Coldplay's anthemic sophistry, Radiohead's enigmatic pop-operas, with hints of The Stone Roses' psychedelic shimmy, Pink Floyd's contorted dark majesty, all driven by a refreshing dose of powerhouse Midwestern indie rock energy. Which explains their incredible regional popularity, and it's fair warning for the rest of the nation sitting in their cross hairs. "The Everyday Separation" balances hallucinatory quietude with equally transcendent guitar-bombast, tender coed vocals and harmonies, strings and horns and baroque arrangements…six talented players pulling out every stop, every song, every night.
