about

For the past 23 years, Seattle's Corespondents have been making wildly singular instrumental music. Infectious, as catchy as it is strange, their music continually eludes easy categorization. 'Exploding House,' their tenth studio album, is their most compact and cohesive record yet. Within its six tracks, echoes of classic surf-rock bump up alongside post-rock, global psychedelia, and a distinct Pacific Northwest heaviness.

The band’s penchant for humor—playful song titles, an inside-joke band name that typically gets read as a misspelling, a total disinterest in the music industry—has often led taste-makers to disregard the depth of their music, continually relegating them to one of the region’s best-kept secrets. 'Exploding House,' which finds the band at the height of their collective powers, is an album that might finally let that secret out.

REVIEWS

"An album clearly full of craft, vision and daring, but one which wears its ambition lightly. Corespondents are not here to bamboozle the listener into appreciation, but beckon with a laidback, oddball charm." -Various Small Flames

"Built on surf-rock twang, post-rock muscle, and a slightly unhinged melodic logic...a band operating at full confidence, sounding both loose and locked-in, and proudly unconcerned with fitting anywhere neatly." - Last Day Deaf

"a playful and luminous burst of instrumental energy that sparkles with subtle bittersweetness and unmistakable echoes of the 60s...a sound that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly singular." - Rock Fuegino

"befitting of a soundtrack telling complex stories and diving deep into the human condition. 'Queen Nut' is so flimic in its constructions and full fledged sprinting down a maze of tightly wound narratives, swanky mysteries and just f*cking cool moves' - American Pancake

"It doesn’t sprawl. It makes its moves efficiently and gets out, which, after ten albums, feels less like restraint than mastery." - B-Side Guys
