Mammoth Indigo is a four-piece band out of Harrisonburg, VA. They have a darker folk-rock sound similar to Desaparecidos, but not quite the same intensity. Cody Bower's tenor voice rises above a post-rock landscape of shimmering guitars, heavy bass, and gunshot percussion. It's a mature and fine-tuned sound with hardcore tendencies.
Their first single, "Rapture," starts out with slow, methodical, and contemplative yearning from Bowers and builds into an eruption of sound and emotion. This song relies heavily on the vocals to carry the song through, and it pays off, with a haunting and melancholy quality that sticks around for the rest of the day.
Their eponymous first album was released earlier this month and they're currently unsigned. The album can be purchased on their
Bandcamp page.
