Here are a few labels that local six-piece Linen Closet ascribes to their sound: “contrarian pop”, “boogie bummer”, “grump pop”, “norm horror”, and “glum core”. And while we could debate what any of those actually mean, it’s safe to say that Linen Closet’s music is just as bleak as it is pleasant and just as catchy as it droning.
Their October 2018 self-titled full-length brought layers of rock and symphonic indie out of the closet and laid an eight track bed of excellence. You can see Linen Closet playing 9pm this Saturday at ABGB and get a little languid this hump day with “Warning Sign”!
