Upside Down

In a small countryside studio just north of San Francisco, in late 2012, a group of musicians gathered for late-night sessions and crafted what would become the 1955 sound: lean tight songs with a cinematic sweep to them, propelled by a stripped down garage rock vibe and an unbridled live energy. A throwback to the simplicity and clarity of early rock and roll songwriting, the songs recall the energy of the bands’ heroes (Velvet Underground, Nick Cave, Bob Dylan) but bristle with a modern, moody edge along the lines of Arctic Monkeys, Black Keys, The Strokes, and the Walkmen. Echoes of the mysterious year that gave them their name cut through their pop/rock sound to reveal a nod to the past.
