After two EPs and 3 years of writing and performing together, Pinscape (Matthew Flook & Andrew Wisler) have recorded their most sonically ambitious work to date. Angle of Incidence is the debut album that blends the Portland duo's deep appreciation of the early '90s shoegaze scene with forward thinking space rock and electronic genres. Their dynamic use of ambient guitars and textural synthesis complement gentle vocals, atonal beats, and driving bass to deliver songs that invigorate and inspire. Nine months of jamming and sonic exploration went into the pre-production of the album, and at times up to 12 hours a day were spent in windowless rehearsal spaces. 

The band left behind the minimalism of the first Pinscape EP, and collaborated to write the songs out on guitar and keys first, embracing a darker, more developed sound. With meticulous attention to detail, the one minute demos were birthed into new songs. Some of the spacier synth songs turned into instrumentals, while other fuzzed out loops and progressions became segues for the album. With the support of producer Scott Worley on board, final details of the album's mixing and track order were made and with a touch of reverb shimmer and heart, Angle of Incidence was complete.

There is much anxiety to be felt on this day, the 20th of January, 2017. Our fears have bubbled to the surface in the form of song; one which demands to be played loud and often. Press play, take action, stay strong.

Shadows Gather

Our friends in SuckerForLights released their album 'Hearts Fade' in October, and this song really struck a chord with us. We had to do a remix. This is our take on 'Seeing Ghosts', layered with huge synth and guitar textures, processed through endless effects, and treated with months of mixing love.

Happy holidays, and be sure to check out their album here:

SuckerForLights - Seeing Ghosts (Pinscape Remix)

Pinscape combines unique synthesis, meticulous electronic drum programming, textured guitar, and gentle vocals into evocative music that takes cues equally from both our melodic yet noisy shoegaze forebears, and today's forward-thinking electronic producers.
