(ASBURY PARK, NJ) -- Contact, the newest addition to the Doghouse Records team, will be performing at Asbury Lanes on Sunday, July 5 on a bill with Vinyl Theater and machineheart. Contact is touring in support of their upcoming album, which will be released in September. Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door.
Contact is Sarah Graziani, Matt Rhoades, Aaron Shelton and Jon Cabral. The band formed in Boston in 2014, when they began work on the songs that would become their debut LP, "Sleepwalk Into The Dark". Co-written by Graziani and Rhoades, the songs are reflections on the struggles of choosing to be an artist.
"This album means a lot to Matt and I because it was a big departure for us when we began the writing process. We had experienced success with other music projects, but felt like we lost touch with who we really were as artists. Where in the past we had been writing this super-structured, very thought-out poppy music, we kind of had to re-learn to follow our instincts and to write from the heart. But it's been a very rewarding journey and we're so glad to have rediscovered our old selves again," says Graziani.
The ten-song album features Graziani's unique vocal rasp dreamily floating over Rhoades' intricate electronic soundscapes. Part new-wave, part shoegaze, "Sleepwalk Into The Dark" is set for a September release via Doghouse Records, with U.S. touring to follow.
