Florida emo band You Blew It broke up after releasing their 2016 album Abendrot, an album that branched out from the band's emo revival roots into something more post-rocky and ambitious. It was a great note to go out on, but it was bittersweet, because it suggested that You Blew It still had untapped ambition. The band remains much-missed, but the good news is that now vocalist Tanner Jones is now leading a new project called Couplet, whose debut album LP1 is due October 1 via Storm Chasers Ltd (pre-order).
Couplet also features Into It. Over It.'s Evan Weiss and Sincere Engineer's Adam Beck, both of whom "re-imagined, arranged, and produced" the songs after Tanner wrote them on his own. The first taste is "Old Elba," which finds Tanner channelling Postal Service-y electronic art pop. It's both a logical progression from Abendrot and an exciting new path for Tanner. Listen below.
