Side a / side b with Amoeba Arena
A chat with Boise, Idaho’s Midwest Emo buds
Absolutely is a love letter to the genre of Midwest emo, and our attempt at capturing and sharing that melancholic feeling that's all too familiar.
what was in heavy rotation while making this release?
Glocca Mora, Joyce Manor, Title Fight. Title Fight. Free Throw. Free Throw. I'd say Origami Angel, for sure. Origami Angel is a big bunch. A little bit of Mom Jeans.
It was a while ago. Writing and recording was a different thing.
Favorite piece of gear used on the EP?
Glockenspiel. Glockenspiel. Glockenspiel, yeah.
Or second answer would be my Fender Telecaster. Or the third answer is my cat.
Okay, we use the cat. We use the cat. He makes an appearance.
Dream band you'd open for on tour?
I mean, Algernon Cadwallader. Please, Algernon, please.
Favorite venues you've played?
Gotta be the Shrine Basin — no. Shrine Ballroom. Shrine Ballroom, bro.
The shrine, a core shrine in Boise, Idaho. The ballroom, the upstairs — it's big.
Realms Arcade. Realms Arcade, yeah. Are we gonna play some games before we go up?
No games on your phone. No games? No games. Unlimited bacon, no games? Unlimited music, unlimited games.
