Steeple
Wolf People
Steeple bridges the gap between earthy British folk traditions and harsh, distorted rock music. The group captures an atmosphere that seems pulled directly from a dense thicket, favoring a style reminiscent of psychedelic groups active during the decades spanning the late nineteen sixties to the early nineteen seventies.
Dense arrangements rely on interlocking guitar lines and forceful percussion to convey a feeling of primitive momentum. The production highlights subtle acoustic guitar fingerwork buried under thick, fuzzy feedback. These contrasting elements work together to provide a sharp, persistent tension throughout the duration of the set.
