Stream Shy Technology’s New EP ‘Where We Go From Here’ Before Release [Premiere]

As devoted nostalgia addicts, we could basically not be happier that the indie sound of the 90s is coming back full force. Riding high on the trend of awesome guitar and sincere lyrics is Shy Technology, which sound like the perfect mix between Spoon and Interpol. It’s got the pop bonafides that come with catchy hooks and softly jangling guitars with those pop-punk vocals that we’ve been missing so much. The tracks never overstay their welcome – all are lean, mean and laced with the midwestern rock aesthetic pioneered by Cursive. It’s not throwback emo, however – it’s the kind of music that stands alone of era. These are the personal thoughts and sounds from the despair of lead singer David Coulson after his mother’s cancer diagnosis. Like the most lasting music, it’s personal and specific in a way that’s completely universal.

With five tracks that are all bangers, Shy Technology are making a serious case for being the next band we go to when we need emotive guitar rock the way we used to. Check out the EP above and if you happen to be in Chicago Friday 8/7 at Lincoln hall.
