about

________________________________________________________

The Buildings is a band that has drawn interest for reproducing the sounds of a bygone era, transitioning seamlessly from intense, guitar-driven indie rock to somber twee ruminations, while staying attuned to the rhythms of the present, finding imaginative ways of reworking the sounds of their forebears.

Channeling the feverish unpredictability of Built to Spill with the exuberant meandering of The Velvet Underground, and the youthful cartharis reminiscent of Snail Mail & Jay Som — The Buildings makes music that resonates on as one of the Manila underground’s most well-loved indie rock acts in their 2016 album “CELL-O-PHANE”.

This tape reissue includes a never-before-heard demo of a new track, ‘Room So Small’.
