They are heavily influenced by the likes of The Cure, The Smashing Pumpkins, and Slowdive, but that only scratches the surface. In a review of their second album, Happy In Here, it is stated that “even with these comparisons and any accuracy they could possess, Keep are a band that’s not only cut their own sort of path, but have become quite seasoned at it.” Their music has spanned a number of genres over the years, but most often falls under the banner of shoegaze. Regardless of specific distinctions, Keep sits firmly in the web of alternative rock music. Audiotree aptly described the sound as “grand and majestic”, adding that it is “ensconced in an all consuming\u003cbr\u003emist of heavy noise.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep is a band that is tried and true. With over ten years of experience, three albums, a host ofEP’s, and countless tours (both stateside and abroad) under their belt, they are only just hitting their stride.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eAlmost Static\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewill be the defining Keep record, as the many influences that the band has historically displayed are pieced together in a more seamless manner than they’ve ever been. Additionally, the band branches into new territory on tracks like Smile Down (Into Nothing), Bermuda, and Almost Static.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an album built for long hours spent in the car which is frequently reflected in the lyrics. \u003cem\u003eAlmost Static\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eexplores many of thoughts that might cross one’s mind on such expansive journeys. It’s a driving and anthemic record that navigates the meandering nature of a world that won’t slow down. It’s a soundtrack for hurtling further and further into oblivion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecording sessions for the album were split between Electrical Audio in Chicago and Earth Analog in Tolono, Illinois. It was produced and engineered by Zac Montez (Whirr, Cloakroom) who helmed the previous two Keep releases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/40G4MnPcUKI?si=6rBF6tXt9DTXhx2P\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Consignment - Pat","offers":[{"title":"Dye Packet Blue Ltd. 100","offer_id":54053912052031,"sku":"CSNR001","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Ltd. 100","offer_id":54053912084799,"sku":"CSNR002","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/4739\/1039\/files\/keep1.webp?v=1783526771","url":"https:\/\/mobiusrecordsalx.com\/products\/keep-almost-static-lp","provider":"Mobius Records ALX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
