"The first single from Corespondents' upcoming album (celebrating 23 years as Seattle legends of surf-inspired instrumental post-rock!)"
The twisting drama, grand gestures and balancing acts of "Queen Nut" by Seattle's iconic surf-inspired instrumental post-rock stalwarts - Corespondents, and from their 10th studio album "Exploding House", is befitting of a soundtrack telling complex stories and diving deep into the human condition. "Queen Nut" is so flimic in it's constructions and full fledged sprinting down a maze of tightly wound narratives, swanky mysteries and just f*cking cool moves and whether these progressions are soundtracks for secret societies of ninjas or heroic turns of play or lovers running away in the middle of the night, the musical shape shifting and thus emotional shape shifting is so incredibly magnetic... sooo incredibly magnetic. If you listen to "Queen Nut" every day for a week I can tell you that the imagery you will see will be different each day, that the puzzle pieces change in relation to what you add to the story and the resulting puzzle on display will look different each time. I would say, that if a screen writer is out there with a severe case of writer's block, they just need to listen to "Queen Nut" to get unstuck in the best possible way.
LINER NOTES (excerpted / bracketed):
[For the past 23 years, Seattle's Corespondents have been making wildly singular instrumental music. Infectious, as catchy as it is strange, their music continually eludes easy categorization.
Exploding House, their 10th studio album, is their most compact and cohesive record yet. Within its six tracks, echoes of classic surf-rock bump up alongside post-rock, global psychedelia, and a distinct Pacific Northwest heaviness.]
[The band’s penchant for humor—playful song titles, an inside-joke band name that typically gets read as a misspelling, a total disinterest in the music industry—has often led taste-makers to disregard the depth of their music, continually relegating them to one of the region’s best-kept secrets. Exploding House, which finds the band at the height of their collective powers, is an album that might finally let that secret out.]

In the final analysis, "Queen Nut" is insanely rad, a song that drops in dangerously late and hits a hard line emotional bottom turn and two many surprise off the lips to count. Love how this song transforms anyone who listens to it.
