]]> WAITERS are from Manchester, and What For Art Thou is their first studio-recorded EP. Their sound is a trip back to the early 90s, with the influence of US bands such as Pavement clear. In fact the band describe themselves as “a kind of restrained abstract form of late 20th century un-Popular music.”

In a genre that often relies on feedback and general noise, WAITERS have a relatively minimalist style. Each instrument is distinct and identifiable, rather than being lost under the fuzzy hum. The result is a fresh and accesible EP that is suited perfectly to the artwork (by Matthew Walkerdine and Laetitia Glenton).

There is not a lot more information on the band, so I’ll leave you with a song.

You can buy the EP on vinyl from CF Records, or download it via their Bandcamp page.
