Philadelphia\u2019s Oldermost will release It\u2019s Difficult To Know
\nAnything At All in May 2015. The five-song EP playfully revisits
\nthe heavy inquiries of their full-length debut I Live Here Now,
\nwhich was produced by Jonathan Low (Sharon Van Etten,
\nDaniel Rossen, Kurt Vile, Mr. Twin Sister), but does so by building
\ntension both centripetally and centrifugally around the dark
\nand whimsical center of questioning and wonder never quite
\narriving at any answers. The songs, produced in their Philadelphia
\nstudio, are filled with questionable advice, despairing wit,
\ncontradictions and an ever-present affinity for popular song
\nconstruction. This release welcomes guitarist Mike Sobel
\nwhose lap-steel performance was featured on The War on
\nDrugs\u2019 phenomenal release Lost In The Dream (\u201cEyes to The
\nWind\u201d).
\nThe songs on It\u2019s Difficult To Know Anything At All blend influences
\nfrom sources like Bill Fay and Harry Nilsson to Wilco, Jim
\nJames, and Father John Misty to create a genre-bending classical
\nsound with warmth, harmony, and luscious reverb.
\nOldermost have been called “Atmosphericana Rockers” whose
\n“sound is gorgeous and expansive, blending traditional songwriting
\nmotifs and blue-eyed soul harmonies with an uplifting and emphatically
\nmodern guitar rock attack … with a surplus of texture and ambition,
\none that doesn\u2019t recognize the self-imposed barriers you typically
\nfind in the Americana scene”
\n–WXPN’s The Key
\nOldermost “mix[es] pop elements with nodes of soulful Americana
\nand alternative rock laying the foundation for Bucknum\u2019s booming
\nvoice”–thatmusicmag.org
\n\u201cEnvision, if you will, a few weeks from now when the air is the perfect
\nmixture of warmth and crispness and everything seems a bit nicer
\nand bright. Why yes, we would like to read outside, thanks. Listening
\nto [\u201cA Drink (Or Two)\u201d] helps us leapfrog from the wet unpleasant right
\nnow into these sun-drenched days ahead.\u201d–Philebrity<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
