Minneapolis alternative rock band 12th House Sun has just announced their
debut LP titled "Behind The Glass" set for a self release on March 22, 2024 .
The album will contain 10 brand new tracks of heavy, dreamy and melodic emo
tinged shoegaze, post-grunge, and pop punk that is sure to please anyone who
likes this sort of thing. This band captured my attention through the Spotify
algorithm, as it showed up on one of my curated shoegaze, emo, post-grunge
playlists the Spotify puts together daily based on some of the stuff I listen
to. I hadn't heard of them before, but when I stumbled across singles
"Anxious" and "More Than" I knew I wanted to hear more.
For those who don't know, 12th House Sun is a trans fronted alternative rock
band from Minneapolis that blends shoegaze, emo, and grunge. The music
combines emotional lyricism with dreamy soundscapes, and high energy riffs
you can dance to. 12th House Sun was started in 2019 as Kyle Schultz's solo
project. After releasing two EP's during the covid pandemic, Kyle sought to
bring the songs to a live audience. In 2022, drummer Nick Luke and bassist Al
Grooms joined, and in 2023 the band added Ryan Shea on guitar and backup
vocals/screams. The band has spent the past two years playing shows and
gaining traction within the Minneapolis music scene, while working on their
debut album titled 'Behind The Glass' which is releasing this March.
About the album, Kyle had this to say about it: "Behind The Glass is an
expansion of the band's defined sound, while adding some heavier elements to
the music. Lyrically, the album covers themes of self reflection, loss,
relationship struggles, burnout, transphobia, etc. In a way, it serves as a
journal, or an inside look at the difficult challenges and transformations I
went through over the course of 4 years that affected me deeply, which is why
I chose the title 'Behind The Glass'".
The band sites several influences such as Balance And Composure, Title Fight,
Deftones, Diiv, Citizen and Paramore as key inspiration. From my initial
impressions, I can definitely hear the Balance And Composure and Title Fight
influences, along with influences from bands like Superheaven, Turnover
(Peripheral Vision era), Basement, Nothing and more recent bands like
Downward, Gleemer, Modern Color and the like. 12 House Sun fit comfortably
into the whole emo/shoegaze/grunge/pop punk hybrid revival, with a huge crop
of newer bands that are bringing back 90s influenced guitar centric alt-rock
with melodic sensibility, big guitar sounds, and quiet to loud dynamics. For
a relatively young band, these guys do it very well, and the new songs show a
huge leap forward from the original EPs released during Covid, both in the
production, song writing and vocal delivery.
The album was mixed and mastered by Abe Anderson, who produces for a lot of
Minneapolis bands. 12 House Sun also recorded drums at Abe's studio, but
recorded guitars and vocals from their home throughout 2023. For a debut LP
that is essentially self produced and self recorded, it sounds quite
impressive. Check out the new singles below for a taste of what's to come,
and if you live in Minneapolis, make sure you hit their CD release show in
late March to pick up a physical copy of the album along with some new merch
they'll have available. There will also be a big cartel store set up soon
with merch and purchase options which will we post once available, and the
album will hit digital streaming platforms on March 22, 2024 as well.
